Comodo CA Is Now Sectigo | Our Story So Far

Our Story So Far

Since Francisco Partners acquired Comodo CA in Oct 2017, many exciting things have happened. With our 20+ years of experience, we have issued over 100 million digital certificates and work with more than 700,000 businesses worldwide. We have become the largest commercial Certificate Authority in the world. Today marks a new beginning as a continuation of our past success – moving forward we will now be known as Sectigo!

By rebranding as Sectigo, we are limiting market confusion, emphasizing our expansion beyond SSL certificates to web security solutions, and demonstrating a renewed commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and service. Our global team is focused on delivering security products and services that rethink norms and advance the industry as a whole.

At Sectigo, our mission is to be the world’s most trusted, innovative, and customer-centric partner for protecting organizations’ identities, web presence and connected devices – from the biggest brands to the smallest websites – so they can secure today and seize their tomorrow.

During the transition period, those two sites will still be live, as we wanted to give our customers a chance to get used to the new change. However, once the transition is complete, we will begin to phase out those sites from use.

As the next phase in our planned transition from Comodo CA to Sectigo, starting January 14, 2019, we will issue new customer certificates from Sectigo branded issuing CAs under our widely trusted USERTrust root CAs.

The new Sectigo intermediates will be used to fulfill new requests, renewal requests, and requests that are pending at the time of this transition. Reissuance requests that are handled directly by Sectigo will be fulfilled using the same issuing CA that issued the original certificate.
