What do the green, amber and red colours mean?
CertNudge uses a simple traffic light system so you can instantly see which certificates need attention and when to take action.
Three-Colour Status System
Green
Certificate is valid and compliant. No immediate action required.

When Colours Change
The Certificate Lifecycle

The moment the expiry date passes, the status turns red.
Instant Visual Alerts
Real-Time Status Updates
Badge colours update automatically across the entire platform. The moment a certificate hits the 60-day mark or expires, you'll see it reflected on your dashboard, so you always know exactly what to act on.
