Improve your Website's trustworthiness and Conversion with trusted Security SealsMaya Gupta
July 02, 2008
Internet business opportunities and online shopping and ecommerce are
increasing day and day. It is more difficult to ensure a safe
environment for online transaction as the security or the safe handling
of the personal information and other transaction details are
threatened. Hackers can easily open the websites security system and
tamper with the information there. Many onsite security features are
installed and used like VeriSign, SSLGenie, Geotrust, Thawte SSL
certification and 128 bit encryption etc. this will create a more safe
and secured ambience for both the web site and the customer.
It
is the utter most responsibility of the web site owners to safeguard
any personal information provided by the customer. One such security
enhancer for web sites is the security seal. When the site uses a
trusted seal the site will get creditability and people will trust the
site and comfortably shop and pay their bills. In any business the
trust and creditability are the two key factors for its success and
thus it is the web sites most imperative job to get and install trusted
seals in their sites.
The seals come in many forms and many companies offer these seals. But the seals can be broadly classified as,
• privacy seal • business seal • security seal
The
privacy seals are for the sites which operate as per the guidelines and
rules of a third party. These sites will generally have a privacy
policy wherein the site promises total safety to the customers ID and
other personal information. It is like a memorandum of understanding
issued by the site to ensure that they are safe and trustable.
The
business seal on the other hand is used as an verification of the
company’s address, phone number and email address. It is generally
verified through the Global Priority Mail or United States Priority
Mail. These seals demote that the company with such a name and a
physical location exist. This also creates a good will and people who
come into the sites trust the company and they know it is a true
company and it is existent.
The security seal is got as
according to the company’s privacy policy, SSL certificate etc. with
this seal in the site the customer knows that the site is secured.
Trusting a company and that too an online company is truly hard for any
self conscious customer. In this cyber world no one actually knows the
authentic features of a business because they are present in the
virtual world and not the real world. SSL certification along with the
respective trust seals will definitely make a great difference in how
the customers will view the site.
For the above stated reasons
it is important for the web business sites to create all the security
checks and make it visible so that the customer who visits the site can
see the SSL certificates, trusted seal etc and feel safe to further
proceed with the business relationship with the site.
