Your CA. Our Platform.

Integrate your existing certificate authority with Koios. Keep your chain of trust intact. Get managed lifecycle automation for every device in your fleet.

You Already Have a PKI. You Shouldn't Have to Abandon It.

Most IoT platforms force you onto their certificate authority. That means ripping out your existing PKI, re-issuing certificates, re-certifying for compliance, and explaining to your security team why the chain of trust changed.

Koios BYOCA integrates with your existing CA hierarchy. Upload your root and intermediate certificates, and Koios issues device certificates under your chain of trust. Your compliance posture doesn't change. Your security team doesn't lose sleep.

BYOCA Capabilities

All the benefits of managed PKI, with your existing certificate authority.
Upload Root & Intermediate CAs
Import your existing root and intermediate certificate authorities. Koios uses your chain of trust for all device certificate issuance.
Chain of Trust Preserved
Your existing PKI hierarchy stays intact. Koios issues device certificates under your CA, not ours. Your compliance posture doesn't change.
Automated Lifecycle
Even with your own CA, you get full lifecycle automation — issuance, renewal, rotation, revocation — all managed by Koios.
Tenant Isolation
Support multiple CA hierarchies within a single Koios organization. Each product line or customer gets their own chain of trust.
Policy Controls
Define issuance policies, key algorithms, validity periods, and naming constraints. Enforce your security requirements at the platform level.
Full Audit Trail
Every certificate operation is logged against your CA. Who issued it, when, to which device. Complete traceability for compliance audits.

How It Works

Integrate your CA in three steps.
1

Upload CA Certificates

Import your root and intermediate CA certificates into Koios. Your private keys stay with you — we only need the public chain.

2

Configure Policies

Set issuance policies, key types, validity periods, and naming constraints that match your existing PKI governance.

3

Issue Device Certificates

Provision devices with certificates issued under your CA hierarchy. Individually, in bulk, or via API integration with your manufacturing line.

Managed CA vs. BYOCA
