What is Sectigo?

Sectigo is a privacy and encryption product that protects identity, communications or data through cryptographic controls. Its product surface covers end-to-end encryption for stored or transmitted data alongside cross-platform clients (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux), with the recurring subscription paid through the operator's direct billing or App Store / Google Play / partner-billing surfaces. Customers buy a tier matching their usage profile; the entry tier is suitable for testing the product and higher tiers add features such as API and integration support.

Why choose Sectigo

Operator and ecosystem context

Sectigo is run by Sectigo Limited (formerly Comodo CA) out of Roseland, New Jersey, United States, established 1998 (Comodo CA); rebranded Sectigo 2018. That matters because the privacy & encryption category is increasingly consolidated and the operator's ownership structure (public vs. private, parent group, regulatory footprint) shapes how aggressively the product is supported and how stable the subscription terms are over multi-year renewals.

Plan structure and pricing tiers

The tier ladder splits across DV SSL for testing the service, OV SSL for everyday use, and EV SSL for power users or teams. Anchor pricing for 2026: DV SSL from USD 8/year; OV from USD 100/year; EV from USD 200/year; Enterprise volume-based. Consult Subger's true-price tracker for Sectigo for all-in renewal costs.

Privacy and encryption features

Beyond the headline features, the 2025-2026 differentiator for Sectigo is 2024-2025 the largest commercial CA by issuance volume; expanded SCM (Sectigo Certificate Manager) for enterprise PKI; competing with DigiCert and Let's Encrypt. That gives the subscription a credible roadmap for the year ahead and distinguishes it from operators that are running their privacy & encryption catalog on autopilot.

Security audits and transparency

For privacy-sensitive products, the credible signals are third-party audits and transparency reporting. Sectigo buyers should review the operator's most recent security audit results, transparency reports (warrant canary, data-request statistics) and bug-bounty history when comparing options. Independent audit firms commonly engaged in this category include Cure53, Deloitte, KPMG, PwC and Trail of Bits; SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications are common baselines on Business / Enterprise tiers.
