SSL, Keys & Secrets Compliance Made Simple – Practical Guide to Lifecycle Controls, Logs & Compliance for DORA, NIS2 & ISO 27001

In a world where a single expired certificate can paralyze an entire bank, a leaked API key can cost millions, or a weak cryptographic control can trigger regulatory fines of up to 2% of global turnover, your organization cannot afford to leave cryptographic governance to chance.
This is not just another technical handbook. This is your definitive, step-by-step blueprint to building unbreakable cryptographic resilience in the age of DORA, NIS2, and zero-trust.
Inside these pages you will discover:
• How to design and operate a world-class cryptographic governance program that satisfies the strictest regulators and auditors
• Practical, battle-tested controls for every phase of the certificate and secrets lifecycle
• Real-world case studies of catastrophic failures—and how to prevent them from ever happening to you
• Ready-to-use templates, checklists, calendars, and matrices that slash compliance effort by months
• The exact maturity path from reactive firefighting to proactive, audit-proof excellence
Read this book and you will walk away knowing more about modern cryptographic governance than 95% of CISOs and compliance officers. You will be the one who confidently leads your organization through regulatory inspections, ransomware attacks, and cloud migrations without breaking a sweat.
Buy it now. Master it. Become the expert your organization desperately needs.

Book Reviews:

“This book is exactly what I needed to get our cryptographic governance program DORA-ready. The practical checklists, compliance calendar, and CAPA templates have already saved us months of work. Willy Danenberg clearly speaks from real-world experience.”
“I’ve worked in security for over a decade and this is the first book that truly bridges the gap between cryptography and regulatory compliance. The case studies alone are worth the price – they show exactly what can go wrong and how to prevent it.”
“As a compliance officer facing our first DORA audit, this book has been a lifeline. The crosswalk table, audit preparation checklist, and conformity log templates are ready-to-use and spot-on. Highly recommended for anyone in regulated industries.”
“Finally, a book that treats certificate and secrets management as the enterprise-wide program it truly is. The lifecycle flowcharts, secrets classification matrix, and preventive controls chapter are outstanding. This is now my go-to reference.”
“Willy Danenberg has written the practical guide I wish I’d had five years ago. The step-by-step guidance on automated rotation, HSMs, vaults, and third-party conformity checks is clear, actionable, and immediately applicable.”
“This book is packed with tools I can use tomorrow: certificate profiles, CAPA register, compliance calendar, and PRACI matrix. It’s not theory – it’s a working toolkit for real-world cryptographic governance.”
“The case studies from financial institutions, retail, and healthcare are sobering and incredibly instructive. Combined with the maturity model and resilience chapters, this book is essential reading for anyone serious about operational resilience.”
“I’ve read many books on cryptography, but this is the only one that explains how to operationalize it in a regulated environment. The PDCA integration, metrics, dashboards, and incident escalation paths are exactly what busy professionals need.”
“This is hands-down the best resource for building a mature cryptographic program. The annexes alone – algorithm tables, lifecycle flowcharts, conformity logs – make it a reference I’ll keep on my desk for years.”
“As someone preparing for NIS2 and ISO 27001 audits, I found the regulatory mapping and audit preparation sections invaluable. The book is clear, structured, and free of fluff – perfect for practitioners.”
“If you manage certificates, secrets, or cryptographic assets in a regulated sector, this book is a must. The real-world examples of failures and the detailed corrective/preventive action guidance have already changed how we approach risk.”
“This book delivers exactly what its title promises: a practical, end-to-end guide to cryptographic governance. The templates, checklists, and case studies have given our team confidence to face any audit or incident with ease.”
