Log in to your account

Go to certcontrol.pro/login and sign in. If you don't have an account yet, start a free trial — no credit card required.

2

Go to Endpoints

In the left-hand menu, click Endpoints. This is where all your monitored domains and IP addresses are listed. On a fresh account the list will be empty.

3

Click "Add endpoint"

Click the Add endpoint button in the top right corner. A dialog will appear where you fill in the details.

4

Enter the hostname or IP address

Type in the domain name or IP address you want to monitor — for example example.com or 192.168.1.1. You can optionally set:

  • Port — defaults to 443. Change this if your service runs on a non-standard port.
  • Environment — tag the endpoint as prod, test, or dev to keep your inventory organised.
  • Business criticality — helps CertControl prioritise findings by impact.
Tip: You can add multiple endpoints at once using the bulk import option — paste a list of hostnames, one per line.
5

Save — the scan starts automatically

Click Save. CertControl immediately queues a scan for the new endpoint. Within a few seconds you will see the endpoint appear in the list with a status indicator showing the scan is in progress.

6

Review the results

Once the scan completes, click the endpoint to open the detail view. You will see:

  • The certificate details — issuer, expiry date, and chain validity
  • Any findings — misconfigurations, weak cipher suites, or upcoming expiries
  • A security score based on the certificate and TLS configuration
Next step: Set up expiry notifications so you get an alert when a certificate is about to expire — go to Settings → Notifications.
