SSLMate — Cert Spotter API integration & automation experts

What you can automate with SSLMate — Cert Spotter API

SSLMate Cert Spotter is a certificate transparency monitoring service that tracks SSL/TLS certificates issued for your domains. It watches public certificate transparency logs and alerts you whenever a new certificate is issued for any domain or subdomain you own — which is critical for detecting unauthorised certificate issuance, potential phishing attacks, and shadow IT. For businesses with multiple domains, subdomains, or a distributed IT environment, certificate monitoring is a security necessity rather than a nice-to-have. Unauthorised certificates can indicate that someone is impersonating your brand, that a compromised server is being used for phishing, or that an internal team has spun up a service without going through proper security channels. Cert Spotter catches all of these scenarios automatically. When integrated into your security operations workflow through n8n, Cert Spotter alerts become actionable triggers rather than emails that sit in someone’s inbox. A new certificate detection can automatically create a security ticket, notify the relevant team via Slack, cross-reference the issuing authority against your approved list, and escalate if the certificate doesn’t match expected patterns. This kind of automated security response is part of what our AI consulting and system integration teams build for Australian businesses. Certificate transparency monitoring is one of those security measures that costs very little to implement but can prevent significant damage. Whether you’re a growing tech company or a larger organisation managing a complex domain portfolio, connecting Cert Spotter to your security workflow ensures that no certificate issuance goes unnoticed or uninvestigated.
