The problem it solves

Requesting a new security certificate usually means opening a separate portal and waiting on your security team to notice and respond. Without a clear process, requests get lost in email or ticket queues, and it's hard to know who approved what.

Who it fits

IT and security teams who manage certificate requests and want a faster, trackable approval process.

How it works

  1. A team member requests a certificate through a Slack command
  2. The system checks the requested domain for risk automatically
  3. Low-risk requests are approved automatically
  4. Higher-risk requests are flagged for the security team to approve in Slack
What you get

Certificate requests screened for risk automatically

You get a faster way for your team to request certificates right in Slack, with riskier requests automatically flagged for review.

What you get

An approved certificate request, with a Slack record of who approved it and why.

What you need

A Slack workspace, a Venafi account, and a domain risk-scanning service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
