Case Study: Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council simplifies SSL certificate management with GlobalSign Managed SSL

Dudley Council switches to GlobalSign for simplified SSL Certificate management

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, a UK government body, faced significant challenges in managing its numerous SSL certificates. The process of purchasing, renewing, and tracking certificates across departments was time-consuming, expensive, and created a security risk if certificates lapsed. Seeking a more efficient and cost-effective solution that provided high levels of security, the council turned to vendor GlobalSign and its Managed SSL Service.

GlobalSign’s solution centralized and simplified the entire SSL certificate lifecycle, from ordering to renewal, through a single managed account. This provided Dudley Council with immediate certificate issuance, centralized billing, and advanced administration controls. The switch to GlobalSign resulted in significant time and cost savings, enhanced security with 2048-bit certificates, and a more trustworthy experience for website visitors through the display of verified organizational credentials.
