Certificate Checking

Certificate Checking | Harden System Security

This page in the Harden System Security App is dedicated to enumerating every certificate across all stores in the Local Machine and Current User scopes. Certificates can be sorted, searched, and removed as needed.

There is a key capability identifying certificates that are not rooted to the Microsoft's Trusted Roots list and presents options for remediation. When evaluating trust, the app does not rely on the system's certificate store; it uses an independent, built-in trust anchor to validate certificates, so its checks remain unaffected by a potentially compromised system store.
