Trusted. Secure. Now Backed by the Industry-Leader.
GeoTrust® DV SSL
The minimum level of protection needed for your website to display as secure. Provides domain validation (DV) and basic encryption for web pages that don’t gather customer information.
GeoTrust True Business ID® (OV)
Ideal for organizations that want to ensure their data is encrypted, but who don’t run e-commerce websites or collect user data. Organization Validated (OV) certificates offer business-level authentication sufficient for securing most websites with logins, or that collect user data like addresses and phone numbers.
Recommended
GeoTrust True Business ID® w/ EV
The highest level of brand protection for your growing business and the industry standard for e-commerce websites. Extended Validation (EV) provides maximum credibility and security. Brands that are serious about protecting customer information insist on using EV on checkout pages or anywhere sensitive information is shared.
