No cert expires. No domain lapses. No audit cycle slips.
An expired TLS certificate takes a service offline. A lapsed domain hands your namespace to a squatter. A missed SOC 2 evidence window stalls a deal in procurement. ExpiryEdge tracks certificates, domains, audit cycles, access reviews and vendor attestations in one register, fires reminders at 90/60/30/7 days, and keeps the evidence your auditor signs against.
Quick answer
IT and security deadline tracking is the practice of recording every expiring asset and recurring control a team owns — TLS/SSL certificates, domains, software licences, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence cycles, access reviews, vendor attestations and policy reviews — assigning owners, and automating reminders so nothing lapses. Teams use it to prevent outages, hold audit readiness year-round, and keep timestamped evidence for assessors.
What IT and security teams track in ExpiryEdge
SSL / TLS certificates
Domain registrations
Software & SaaS licences
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 evidence
Quarterly access reviews
Vendor security attestations
Policy review dates
Penetration test cycles
Renewals and controls fall through automation gaps
Three ways an expiry becomes an outage or an audit finding.
Expiries scattered across registrars and consoles
Certs in one platform, domains at two registrars, licences in finance, evidence in a drive. No single view tells you what expires this quarter.
Auto-renew isn’t a control
A failed card, a deprovisioned mailbox, an unmonitored alias — and the auto-renew everyone trusted silently fails. The first sign is a down service or a held domain.
Audit readiness decays between cycles
Access reviews, policy reviews and vendor attestations drift past their cadence. Then the SOC 2 window opens and the team scrambles to reconstruct months of evidence.
One register for every expiry and every control cycle
Every expiring asset in one place
Certificates, domains, licences and recurring controls — searchable by system, owner, status and due date.
An owner per asset and control
Each item routes to a named engineer or control owner, with escalation if it is not actioned in time.
Reminders before expiry, not after
Staged alerts at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days reach the owner on email, SMS, Slack-style channels or Teams — in time to renew or rotate.
Audit evidence year-round
A timestamped trail of every review, renewal and attestation, exportable to CSV, PDF or XLSX for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 assessors.
What it looks like day to day
See what expires this quarter across every system
Every certificate, domain, licence and control cycle shows its owner, due date and status. Filter to "expiring in 30 days" and clear the list before anything goes dark.
Status: valid, expiring, expired
Filter by system, registrar or owner
Recurring controls regenerate on completion
Stage reminders so a renewal is never last-minute
Certificate rotation and domain renewal need lead time for DNS, approvals and validation. Reminders fire on a staged cadence to the owner, then escalate if a date approaches unactioned.
90 / 60 / 30 / 7 day cadence per item
Escalation when an item is unactioned
Channels owners actually watch
Standing up audit-ready tracking
Import assets & controls
Bring in certs, domains, licences and recurring control cycles from a spreadsheet or export.
Set owners & cadences
Each item gets an owner and a 90/60/30/7 reminder cadence; recurring controls get their interval.
Reminders & escalation run
Owners are alerted ahead of expiry, with escalation when something stalls.
Export for the assessor
Produce SOC 2 / ISO 27001 evidence as a single timestamped download.
Auto-renew alone vs. a tracked register

| Catches a failed renewal before downtime | ||
| Owner accountable per asset | ||
| Covers access & policy review cycles | ||

What can ExpiryEdge track for an IT or security team?
Anything with an expiry or a cadence: SSL/TLS certificates, domain registrations, software and SaaS licences, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence cycles, quarterly access reviews, vendor security attestations, policy review dates and penetration-test cycles. You set the date or interval and the owner, and ExpiryEdge handles the staged reminders.
Doesn’t auto-renew already handle certificates and domains?
Auto-renew is not a control — it fails silently on an expired card, a deprovisioned mailbox or an unmonitored alias, and the first sign is a down service or a held domain. A tracked register gives you visibility of what expires this quarter and a reminder to the owner so a failed renewal is caught before downtime.
How does it help with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits?
Recurring controls — access reviews, policy reviews, vendor attestations — run on their cadence with reminders, and every completion is timestamped. When the audit window opens, you export the evidence as a single CSV, PDF or XLSX rather than reconstructing months of activity.
How far ahead are renewal reminders sent?
Staged, not single-shot: typically 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before expiry. Certificate rotation and domain renewal need lead time for DNS changes, approvals and validation, so early warnings give the owner room to act, with escalation if a date approaches unactioned.
Can different assets be owned by different engineers?
Yes. Each certificate, domain, licence or control cycle routes to a named owner with an escalation path, so reminders reach the responsible engineer rather than a shared inbox — and a handover never quietly drops a renewal.
Can it track vendor security attestations and access reviews?
Yes. Set each vendor attestation or access review as a recurring item with its cadence and owner. ExpiryEdge reminds the owner ahead of each cycle and logs completion, so third-party assurance and least-privilege reviews stay current and evidenced.
