Simplify and Secure Macro Signing

Simplify and Secure Macro Signing

From macros to internal scripts—MacroSign gives you a safer, faster way to sign lightweight code without heavy infrastructure, manual certificates, or security risks.

From macros to internal scripts—MacroSign gives you a safer, faster way to sign lightweight code without heavy infrastructure, manual certificates, or security risks.

The Risk of Office Macros

Microsoft Office macros are still widely used for business-critical processes – and just as widely exploited by attackers.
Macros execute with the same permissions as the user, and in many cases can even escalate privileges further. This makes them an attractive entry point for ransomware, phishing, and targeted intrusions.

Unlike regular software, Office documents are opened without hesitation, and enabling macros is often just a click away. Social engineering makes this trivial: attackers simply embed instructions directly in the email or document.

For administrators, defending against malicious macros is difficult. Traditional controls like application whitelisting don’t apply, and malware scanners can never catch them all.

What is SignPath MacroSign

MacroSign is built for organizations that need to control what runs inside their business.

Whether you're working with Excel macros, PowerPoint scripts, or internal automation tools – MacroSign brings enterprise-grade code signing to non-developers and smaller teams.

Why it matters

Implement Macro Signing to Create Secure End User Policies

Digitally signing your organization’s macros will unlock the policy capabilities of Microsoft Office:

  • Use group policies to allow execution only for macros signed with trusted certificates

  • Assign trusted certificates to users and groups

Inadequacy of Existing Approaches

This table shows how readily available policies provide inadequate security and/or impact the business to an unacceptable degree:
