Don’t Even Think About Using A Trust Seal Company Unless They Meet These 5 Criteria …

     You know what’s worst than using no security and trust seal on your websites?—using a company that leaves you vulnerable to hackers when you thought you were protected. That’s why I’d like to suggest 5 criteria you should look for in a Trust Seal company before you hand over your cash to them.

• Make sure they have the necessary certification to do the job they claim they can do for you. Find their contact information or read their ‘About’ page and find out what security certification they hold. You may be surprised at the answer.

• Find out if their staff manually review the automated hacker test for your website to check for ‘false positives’ or if they leaving everything up to the software.

• Check if they offer email monitoring to be sure that websites are keeping up with their privacy policies or they just check once and never again. If they only check once then you know that they don’t have your best interest in mind.

• Do they have a response team ready to take down any phishing sites that try to steal your business and what it their average time to kill these sites. In these situations time IS money.

• Do they make clear to you the difference between security, privacy and identity seals so you don’t feel covered where you are not? Many companies offer just one seal leaving online shoppers still anxious to do business with these websites.

     The majority of web site seal programs on the internet charge you a fee, and then they check your address and phone number, and maybe check to see if you have a privacy policy. When you are looking for a web site seal, make sure you choose a company that actually tests your site.

     These companies hope that you’ll overlook these important components in the rush to place any seal on your website.
