Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- After the configuration, assurance and technical details are agreed, the On Boarding process for MANAGED PKI is straightforward and typically takes 8-12 weeks.

Documentation deliverables are reviewed and accepted in the build process.

- Off Boarding is triggered when the customer implements an alternative PKI and wishes to migrate the key pair(s). In any scenario, Entrust can be commissioned to provide a migration plan supported by our professional services to ensure the process is carried out securely, swiftly and with the least disruption.
- End-of-contract process
- Off Boarding is triggered when if customer wants to migrate the key pair(s), before the keys are naturally due to expire. In this case Entrust can sell the hardware, if usable life remains in it, to the customer at current market rate. In any scenario, we would provide a migration plan supported by Entrust professional services to ensure the process is carried out securely, swiftly and with the least disruption
