Techniques are disclosed for identifying and authenticating prospective certificate authority customers of a secure socket layer (SSL) certificate prior to receiving an order from the customer. The CA generates a list of prospective customers of digital certificates (e.g., by scanning networked servers via the Internet for the presence of an installed digital certificate). The CA retrieves data for each customer on the list and determines, based on a set of approval criteria, which prospective customers to target in enrollment campaigns. For each approved customer, the CA initiates an enrollment process prior to receiving a request from the customer to provide a certificate.
