What the Norton™ Secured Seal Means

Trust online is essential for any business with a Web presence and the Symantec™ Safe Site helps Web site owners establish trust with their visitors. Only a Symantec seal is backed by the most trusted security brand on the Internet (Symantec Brand Tracking Research, 2009).

What the Norton Secured Seal Means

Symantec Safe Site on a Web page means:

• Symantec has verified the identity of the individual business or organisation that displays the seal.
• Symantec has verified the organisation's right to use the Web site domain name.
• The Web site has passed a daily Symantec malware scan and malware was not detected.

Why You Need to Know Who Owns a Web Site

There are many scam artists and fraudsters who take advantage of the Internet to collect personal information by appearing to be a trusted Web site. Symantec has a proven, rigorous process for authenticating identities and confirming their right to use a Web site domain. When Symantec Safe Site is present, your customers can rest assured that the Web site belongs to a real, verified organisation.

How a Daily Malware Scan Protects Everyone

Malware is a general term for malicious software and is a growing problem on the Internet. Hackers use malware to spread viruses, hijack your computer or steal sensitive data such as credit card numbers or other personal information. A daily malware scan helps mitigate the risk of being attacked, of becoming blacklisted by search engines, and reduces the risk of infecting your customers' computers when they browse your Web site.

Click on the Check

When you click Symantec Safe Site, you see the exact information provided to and verified by Symantec. The verification page includes the owner's name, town, state, country, and the status of the most recent malware scan.

Symantec™ Safe Site and Norton™ Secured Seal

Symantec™ Safe Site is an enhanced version of the established and highly trusted Norton™ Secured Seal. Like the Norton Secured Seal, Symantec Safe Site shows that a site is authenticated by the high standards of Symantec. However, Symantec Safe Site provides additional information in more places to help assure your customers that your site is safe from search to browse to buy. Symantec Safe Site is free with the purchase of any Symantec SSL Certificate. It may also be purchased separately for web sites that do not require SSL for securing online transactions. If you collect or display confidential information on your Web site, you must use Symantec SSL and it is recommended that you display the Norton Secured Seal.
