Unsung was commissioned by a defence sector client to deliver a new highly assured Root Certificate Authority incorporating demonstrable governance processes and comprehensive documentation to underpin a new private cloud platform. The engagement required establishing a trust anchor that would meet stringent defence sector assurance requirements.

The client required not only the technical implementation of the Root CA infrastructure but also comprehensive governance documentation demonstrating compliance with security policies, industry best practices, and regulatory requirements applicable to defence sector PKI operations.

Unsung delivered a comprehensive package of governance and technical deliverables:

‍

Governance deliverables:

• Certificate Policy

• Certificate Practice Statement

• Key Signing Ceremony documentation, facilitation, and execution

‍

Design deliverables:

• Technical Design (High-Level Design)

The engagement presented significant timeline challenges requiring efficient execution and careful programme management.

The client required the Key Signing Ceremony within six weeks of project commencement. Unsung successfully met this challenging timeline through deployment of proven solution accelerators including governance documentation templates and ceremony procedure frameworks developed across previous defence and government sector engagements.
