The Sectigo InstantSSL certificate security seal is a dynamic graphic element that can be placed on a website to confirm that the website is secure and that its owner has passed the organization’s verification process. The seal displays real-time information about the certificate’s validity and authenticity, which helps to increase the trust of users visiting the site. The dynamic “Secured by InstantSSL” seal is interactive – when hovering over it or clicking on it, users can see details about the certificate, such as the date of issue, expiration date and information about the company that owns the certificate. This gives customers the confidence that their data is protected by proven and trusted security. Using a security seal on a website not only strengthens the company’s image as safe and reliable, but also helps to meet customer expectations in terms of data privacy and security, which is crucial especially in the context of e-commerce and other sites processing sensitive information.

The validation procedure for the Sectigo InstantSSL Premium certificate includes verification of the identity of the organization that applies for the certificate, which is typical for Organization Validation (OV) certificates. The process begins with submitting a certificate application, which contains information about the domain and the organization. Sectigo then performs verification, which includes confirming the right to use the domain, usually by sending an email to the registered owner of the domain or through alternative methods such as DNS verification or a file on the server. At the same time, Sectigo checks the information about the organization in publicly available business records and may request additional documentation confirming the identity of the company, such as registration documents or business licenses. As part of the validation procedure, it may also be necessary to confirm the contact details of the organization by talking to a company representative by phone. After all verification steps have been successfully completed, the certificate is issued and ready for installation on the server, which means that the validation process is complete.
