SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology protects your online transaction and helps increase trust in your web site in three essential ways.
When do I need SSL certificates?
- you have an online store or accept online orders and credit cards
- you offer a log-in or sign-in on your site
- you process sensitive data such as address, birth date, licence or ID numbers
- you need to comply with privacy and security requirements
- you value privacy and expect others to trust you
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): How it works
What is Extended Validation SSL?
Extended Validation (EV) has the highest level of authentication available with an SSL Certificate.
A site secured by an SSL Certificate with EV triggers high-security Web browsers to display the organisation's name in a green address bar and show the name of the Certificate Authority that issued it.
The browser and the Certificate Authority control the display, making it difficult for phishers and counterfeiters to hijack your brand and your customers. Learn More on EV SSL.

Trust The Site: Daily Malware Scan
Protect your business and your customers
What is Malware?
Malware is short for malicious software and also known as malicious code. Hackers exploit security weaknesses on your server to gain access to your Web site and install malicious code.
Why does it harm my business?
Because of the potential damage caused by malware, Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines scan and then blacklist or exclude any site found with malware. If your site is blacklisted, it may be blocked entirely or flagged with a security alert to discourage click-through.
Why does Malware harm my customers?
They use your Web site to spread viruses, hijack computers and steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information. Malware code is not easily detected and may infect your customers' computers when they visit your Web site.
How can I protect my site from malware?
The VeriSign daily malware scan of your public Web pages helps protect your business and your customers. Like most thieves, malware hackers look for easy targets, such as a Web site where malware will go undetected for as long as possible.
Posting the VeriSign Trust Seal on your Web site is like posting an alarm security sign in your front window.
It shows hackers that your site is scanned daily to detect malware
- Your Web site could be infecting your customers' desktops computers and become blacklisted by search engines without your knowledge.
- Malware can be spread by injecting malicious code into Web sites to infect visitors' computers.

Trust The Transaction: VeriSign Trust Seal
The No. 1 Trust Mark on the Internet
VeriSign seals are viewed up to 250 million times a day on more than 90,000 Web sites in 160 countries and in search results on enabled browsers as well as partner shopping sites and product review pages. When Web site visitors see the VeriSign Trust Seal, they are less likely to abandon a transaction and more likely to do business with you online.
What does the VeriSign Trust Seal mean?
The VeriSign Trust Seal means that VeriSign has verified your identity and that you are the rightful owner or operator of your Web site. The seal verification page displays your business information and encryption information, and shows that your Web site has passed a daily malware scan, helping visitors feel safe from search to browse to buy. Combined with a closed padlock, https in the URL or a green address bar, the seal also means your site is secured by a VeriSign SSL Certificate.
