CERTIFICATION

Device and software certifications expire quietly. Compliance status is checked when someone asks, and lapses are discovered by auditors, customers or incidents — never in advance.

Business Question

"Which of our certifications expire in the next ninety days — and would anything except an outage tell us?"

What SPoG Does

  • Tracks device and software certifications centrally with expiry and renewal timelines.
  • Validates compliance status continuously against current requirements.
  • Alerts owners ahead of expiry so renewals happen before lapses, not after findings.
