About Us

Comodo employs policies and practices that have been designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the AICPA/CICA WebTrust Program for Certification Authorities, ANS X9.79:2001 PKI Practices and Policy Framework, and other industry standards related to the operation of CAs.

To date, Comodo has issued over one-million digital certificates through our secure Certification Authority operations. The advanced physical and logical security and validation practices and procedures ensure that all Comodo certificates are highly trusted and undergo an annual third-party WebTrust audit.

Comodo securely generates and protects its own private key(s), using a trustworthy system (IBM 4758 accredited to FIPS PUB 140-1 level 4), and takes necessary physical and logical precautions to prevent the compromise or unauthorized usage of such devices. All digital certificates issued are issued using IBM 4758 hardware security modules.

Access to Comodo secure facilities is limited through the use of physical access control and is only accessible to appropriately authorized individuals (known as Trusted Personnel). Card access systems are in place to control, monitor and log access to all areas of the facility. Access to the Comodo CA physical machinery within the secure facility is protected with locked cabinets and logical access control.

The secure facilities are protected from fire and smoke damage (fire protection is made in compliance with local fire regulations) and flood and water damage

Comodo secure facilities have a primary and secondary power supply and ensure continuous, uninterrupted access to electric power. Heating / air ventilation systems are used to prevent overheating and to maintain a suitable humidity level.

Comodo employ a redundant CA system to ensure uninterrupted service levels. Comodo also utilizes secure secondary server and operations sites.

For further information on the Comodo operations are available in our Certification Practice Statement - available at the Comodo repository.
