In the world of GRC, "Inventory" is often the weakest link. Most organizations treat their asset list as a static document - a snapshot in time that is out of date the moment it is saved.
At Noru, we believe that compliance should reflect your actual security posture, not just your documentation. That's why we've built and launched a real-time Automated Certificate & Subdomain Discovery engine directly in Noru.
The Visibility Gap
When a developer spins up a new staging environment or a marketing agency launches a microsite, they often issue an SSL/TLS certificate. This creates a "digital breadcrumb." If your GRC tool is not watching Certificate Transparency (CT) logs, you are blind to these new assets.
In security terms, this is Shadow IT. In GRC terms, it's an unmanaged risk.
How it Works
By building a high-speed CT log indexing, Noru now "tails" the global ledger of issued certificates.
- Real-Time Detection: As soon as a certificate is issued for your domain, it appears in your Noru dashboard.
- Risk Mapping: Noru automatically categorizes these certificates and checks for expiration dates, weak encryption algorithms, and unauthorized issuers.
- Seamless Evidence: When it's time for your SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit, Noru provides a complete, time-stamped history of your certificate landscape, proving that your data-in-transit encryption controls are active and managed.
From Reactive to Proactive
This integration shifts Noru users from a reactive stance (fixing things after an audit or an outage) to a proactive one. You can now see your attack surface expanding in real time and ensure that every new piece of infrastructure meets your organization's governance standards.
