Platform · Machine Trust Graph

Know what breaks before it breaks.

By Updated

The Machine Trust Graph maps every certificate to the applications, services, teams, and owners that depend on it — so you see the blast radius of any renewal, rotation, or expiration before you act.

The problem

A certificate is never
just one certificate.

Every cert sits at the center of a web of dependencies. Without that map, every change is a gamble and every expiration is a surprise.

Renewals are blind

You rotate a certificate and find out what it broke from the incident channel.

No dependency map

Nobody knows which apps, load balancers, and services rely on a given cert.

Ownership is a mystery

When a cert expires, the first 30 minutes are spent finding who owns it.

One cert, many outages

A single shared certificate can take down a dozen services at once.

How it works

From a list of certs to a
map of consequences.

1
Map relationships

MachineCert links each certificate to the services, hosts, and endpoints that present or trust it.

2
Attach ownership

Certs are rolled up to teams and on-call rotations automatically.

3
Compute blast radius

For any cert, see exactly what fails if it expires or is rotated.

4
Act with confidence

Renew, rotate, or deploy knowing the full downstream impact in advance.

Blast-radius analysis

See the impact before
you make the change.

Select any certificate and the graph highlights every downstream dependency, its owner, and the services that would go dark on expiry — turning a risky rotation into a routine one.

FAQ

The Trust Graph,
answered.

It’s a live map of the relationships between your certificates and the applications, services, load balancers, clusters, teams, and owners that depend on them. It turns a flat inventory into a dependency graph you can reason about.
Blast radius is everything that would be affected if a certificate expired or was rotated. The Trust Graph computes it automatically, so before you touch a cert you can see exactly which services go down and who needs to be involved.
It correlates discovery data — where each certificate is presented or trusted — with your infrastructure: ingress and load balancer configuration, Kubernetes resources, service mesh, and host bindings.
Ownership is rolled up from tags, namespaces, accounts, and directory data, then mapped to teams and on-call rotations — so every certificate has a clear owner before it ever becomes an incident.
Yes. The Trust Graph is scoped per tenant, so MSPs and multi-business-unit enterprises get an isolated dependency map for each environment.
Automated renewal and rotation become low-risk when the system already knows the downstream impact. MachineCert can sequence changes and verify dependents stay healthy.
Yes. The graph surfaces certificates presented by many services — the high-fan-out certs whose expiry would cause the widest outage — so you can prioritize them.
A CMDB lists assets; the Trust Graph models live trust relationships specific to certificates and machine identities, with real-time expiry and risk context an inventory can’t provide.
