CPAC Pro
- Domain Control & Identity Verification
- Secures email communications and MS® Office documents
- Enables users' two-factor authentication
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificate (CPAC) Pro is an easy, affordable, and advanced solution to secure business communications such as emails, documents, and user access. The ideal choice for small and medium-sized companies, this email certificate brings the following benefits:
Email Encryption
Sectigo CPAC Pro digitally signs your emails and offers end-to-end encryption between you and your recipients. Once the email leaves your server, it remains secure until it reaches its destination. Hackers can’t intercept or tamper with your correspondence in any way. The 256-bit encryption and a 2048-bit signature key are industry-standard technology for data protection.
Microsoft® Office and OpenOffice Document Signing
This certificate can secure your business documents and help you migrate from ink paperwork to electronic contracts, forms, sign-offs, and other essential documents. A digitally signed document confirms the identity of the document signer.
Two-Factor Authentication
This certificate can secure your business documents and help you migrate from ink paperwork to electronic contracts, forms, sign-offs, and other essential documents. A digitally signed document confirms the identity of the document signer and prevents hackers from altering its contents.
FDA ESG compliant
If you’re doing business with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), encrypting your emails is required. The ESG (Electronic Submission Gateways) verifies the senders’ identity before sending your email to the relevant FDA office. This email certificate ensures smooth and secure communication with the FDA.
Domain Control and Identity Verification
To receive this SSL Certificate, you will have to provide your email address, First Name, and Last Name and pass Domain Control and Identity Verification. The process takes between 1-3 business days.
Compatible with almost any platform
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificates are fully trusted by all major servers, email clients, as well as internet browsers. You can install them on Windows, Linux, Mac, and many other platforms. They also support major email servers such as Netscape Communicator, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, and Mozilla Thunderbird.

Here is a list of the most common questions our customers have when buying a Sectigo CPAC SSL Certificate:
What are Multi-Year SSL Subscription Plans?
Starting with August 19th, 2020, the maximum duration of publicly-trusted SSL/TLS certificates issued by all Certificate Authorities (CAs) has been set to a maximum of 13 months.
However, in order to make your SSL Management process time-saving and cost-effective, the CAs and SSL Dragon are offering you the 2 Year and 3 Year SSL Subscription Plans.
This means that you can still buy a 2 or 3 year SSL Certificate and continue to benefit from multi-year discounting, while still remaining compliant with the CAB Forum SSL requirements.
How the Multi-Year SSL works?
Due to security reasons, your SSL certificate is initially issued with a maximum 1-year validity.
Prior to the expiration of your certificate, SSL Dragon, on behalf of the CA, we will issue a free replacement certificate for an additional 1-year certificate, according to your Subscription Plan.
You will need to validate & install the replacement SSL:
a. If you have a Domain Validation SSL Certificate, a short verification of your domain name will be required via Email, HTTP, or DNS in order to issue the 1-yr replacement SSL.
b. If you have a Business or Extended SSL Certificate – an additional Business Validation/Extended Validation recheck and callback process will also be required.
You can still reissue your certificate at any time and as many times as you like during your Multi-Year SSL Subscription Plan.
On your SSL Certificate’s page within the SSL Dragon account, you will find all the details regarding your Subscription Plan:
- Valid From – Shows the date when your SSL was issued and became active
- Expires – Shows the date when your SSL expires and needs to be reissued (not Renewed).
- Subscription Starts – The date when the first SSL was issued and the subscription period activated
- Subscription Ends – The date when the subscription ends and SSL needs to be Renewed (not Reissued)
- Next Reissue – shows the number of days left of your SSL. The Certificate should be reissued 30-days prior to this date.
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificates provide you the highest level of protection by enabling end-to-end encryption of your email communications. By signing and encrypting your outgoing email messages, you protect them from Man-in-the-Middle attacks, https proxies, or packet-sniffers, therefore your messages can’t be intercepted and decrypted by a malicious third party.
Encrypting Email Messages guarantees their privacy and integrity, while digitally signing the messages authenticates you as being the genuine sender. In this way, you will secure yourself and your business from accidental or fraudulent data exposures, privacy breaches, and other potential security threats associated with business communication.
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificate lets you easily sign any valuable and critical personal or company document, therefore ensuring compliance with industry requirements of digitally signed documents. By digitally signing the document, you identify yourself as the authentic document signer and certify its integrity by proving that your document hasn’t been altered since it was signed. In this way, CPAC SSL Certificates help you migrate from ink & paper to digital workflows of contracts, sign-offs, request forms and other important company documents, working in tandem with or replacing the visible signature feature in Microsoft® products such as Microsoft Office Suite, Open Office Suite, VBA Macros and more.
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificate helps businesses reduce the risks and threats associated with using standard passwords by enabling the two-factor authentication of users. If you need a stronger guarantee that the person logging into your company network or account is your legitimate employee, CPAC SSL Certificates will allow you to secure your sensitive and private customer or corporate data by enabling the industry standard used by banks all over the world – two-factor authentication – seamlessly integrating the certificate as a second authentication element. In this way, you will protect your company access, including remote, from any hackers attempting to steal usernames and passwords.
Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificates were designed for individuals and businesses who are looking at implementing the best web security practices, such as email & document encryption and user two-factor authentication. However, each CPAC SSL Certificate was designed to fit a particular need. Just like DV, BV, and EV SSL Certificates, CPAC SSL Certificates come with different validation requirements which enable certain certificate fields:
- CPAC Basic – requires Domain Control and displays only your email in the SSL Certificate
- CPAC Pro – requires Domain Control and Identity Verification in order to display your email, First and Last Name in the SSL Certificate
- CPAC Enterprise – requires Domain Control, Identity Verification, and Organization Validation in order to display your email, First and Last Name, as well as Company Name and Address in the SSL Certificate.
Based on your actual needs, you can now decide which Sectigo Personal Authentication Certificate is the best option for you, providing you an enhanced web security of your business activity.
You can install your Sectigo CPAC Certificate as soon as it has been issued to you.
Here are installation instructions for different browsers, email clients, and mobile devices provided by Sectigo:

In my line of work, I edit dozens of documents on a daily basis. Controlling a large document workflow isn’t always easy, but with Comodo CPAC PRO at least I have the peace of mind that all the data is safe.
Review by Anne
A year ago, a security incident at our company compromised several important documents. It wouldn’t have happened if we had encrypted our email correspondence and documents. Since then, we’ve been using CPAC Pro across all our platforms without any issues.
Review by Luis
I use CPAC Pro for 2 years – it’s a great solution when you need to exchange a lot of MS Office documents. Great price for it!
