What TrustSkills does
TrustSkills A/S is a privately held Danish software and services company founded in 2013 in Aarhus, specializing in certificate lifecycle management across SSL/TLS, Microsoft ADCS, and the Danish national MitID Erhverv eID system. Its core platform, TrustView, is a CA-agnostic, modular system that automates discovery, daily monitoring, issuance, and renewal of digital certificates, with deployment options for on-premises or cloud and add-on modules for automation, ADCS frontending, and MitID workflows. The company complements the platform with TrustView Lite (a SaaS SKU for SMBs), PKIaaS (managed cloud PKI), a certificate resale business covering SSL/TLS, code signing, PSD2, S/MIME, and VMC certificates from DigiCert, Entrust, GeoTrust, and Let's Encrypt, and full-service managed certificate administration plus PKI training.
TrustSkills' customer base is concentrated in the Nordic public sector and large private enterprises. The company reports serving over half of all Danish municipalities, four of five Danish regions, agencies such as Statens IT, and the Swedish Migration Agency (Migrationsverket), alongside private-sector logos including Ørsted, Danish Crown, FLSmidth, Øresundsbroen, DLR Kredit, AP Pension, Alm Brand, Verdo, and LanguageWire. Revenue is generated through recurring subscriptions for TrustView and TrustView Lite, multi-year enterprise contracts for the on-prem platform, certificate resale margins, managed services agreements, and professional services/training. Go-to-market combines direct field sales (sales director, regional manager, and key account manager covering Denmark and Sweden) with a product-led free trial for TrustView Lite, while all product development, support, implementation, and sales are delivered from offices in Aarhus and Copenhagen.

TrustSkills competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Sectigo: Major commercial certificate authority that also offers its own certificate management platform (Sectigo Certificate Manager) — competes in the same customer use cases while also being a TrustSkills partner/sub-processor.
- DigiCert: Largest commercial certificate authority and TrustSkills' core certificate reseller partner; DigiCert offers its own enterprise certificate management (DigiCert CertCentral) that overlaps with TrustView's automation.
- Entrust: Certificate authority and PKI platform vendor that resells through TrustSkills and also offers its own PKI and certificate lifecycle management solutions — partially overlapping competitor and partner.
- Microsoft (Azure Key Vault / ADCS): Microsoft provides native certificate handling through Azure Key Vault and ADCS — TrustSkills integrates with these platforms but Microsoft could expand native management features that compete with the TrustView ADCS and Automation modules.
- AWS Certificate Manager / Private CA: Amazon's cloud-native certificate issuance and management service — provides free certificate handling for AWS workloads and represents a structural competitor to TrustSkills for cloud-hosted certificate estates.
Direct peers
- Keyfactor: PKI as-a-Service and certificate lifecycle management provider for enterprises, with EJBCA and Signum product lines — competes head-to-head with TrustView's on-prem and PKIaaS offerings.
- AppViewX: Certificate management and automation platform (CERT+) that provides discovery, lifecycle automation, and PKI management across hybrid environments — a direct functional competitor to TrustView.
- Venafi (now part of CyberArk): Market-leading certificate lifecycle management platform serving large enterprises with TLS, PKI, and machine identity automation — directly comparable to TrustView's core offering but at significantly greater scale.
Emerging players
- Smallstep: Cloud-native PKI and certificate automation platform (Step CA, Step Certificates) targeting DevOps and infrastructure teams — emerging alternative for the automation portion of TrustView's value proposition.
- HashiCorp Vault: Secrets and certificate management platform with PKI secrets engine and cert-manager integrations — overlaps with TrustView's automation scope and is increasingly adopted in cloud-native infrastructure.
