Key Preparation Steps:
- Identify all external and internal public certificates
- Create a comprehensive vendor technology inventory
- Implement automated SSL/TLS certificate management
- Develop a structured rollout plan for 47-day certificate issuance
- Establish a Cryptographic Centre of Excellence (CCoE) for improved crypto-agility
