What are the differences between SSL Certificates?

Domain validated
SSL Certificates

  • Easy val­i­da­tion of the domain
  • Dis­play of a lock icon in the brows­er bar

Registration conditions

Valid email address from the WHOIS record or an alter­na­tive admin­is­tra­tive address.

For some cer­tifi­cates, a zone entry can also be stored for ver­i­fi­ca­tion.

Organization Validated
SSL Certificates

  • Val­i­da­tion of the domain
  • Dis­play of a lock icon in the brows­er bar
  • Enter­prise authen­ti­ca­tion
  • Extend­ed infor­ma­tion in the cer­tifi­cate

Registration conditions

Offi­cial doc­u­ments of the com­pa­ny must be pre­sent­ed and ver­i­fied. Here, for exam­ple, the tele­phone num­ber must be list­ed in a pub­licly (Inter­net) acces­si­ble tele­phone direc­to­ry. Like­wise, the Whois infor­ma­tion must match that of the com­pa­ny data.

Extended Validation
SSL Certificates

  • Val­i­da­tion of the domain
  • Dis­play of a lock icon in the brows­er bar
  • Enter­prise authen­ti­ca­tion
  • Extend­ed infor­ma­tion in the cer­tifi­cate
  • Obtain­ing a green brows­er address line

Registration conditions

Reg­is­tra­tion of the com­pa­ny in a pub­lic reg­is­ter, e.g. com­mer­cial reg­is­ter. Like­wise, for exam­ple, the tele­phone num­ber must be list­ed in a pub­licly (Inter­net) acces­si­ble tele­phone direc­to­ry. In addi­tion, the Whois infor­ma­tion must match that of the com­pa­ny data.

Oth­er advan­tages and legal infor­ma­tion

SSL / TLS security protocol for more security

SSL/TLS encryp­tion is used to pro­tect sen­si­tive data trans­mit­ted over the Inter­net, includ­ing your cred­it card infor­ma­tion, per­son­al infor­ma­tion, and oth­er sen­si­tive infor­ma­tion.

SSL/TLS encryp­tion scram­bles the com­mu­ni­ca­tion between your web­site and the serv­er, pro­vid­ing you with a more reli­able and secure way to trans­fer data.

Identity verification — Achieve more security with verification

Ver­i­fi­ca­tion through authen­ti­ca­tion is an essen­tial com­po­nent of web­site secu­ri­ty. It is the basis for the trust­wor­thi­ness of a web­site and pro­tects it from unau­tho­rized access by third par­ties.

Authen­ti­ca­tion ensures that the infor­ma­tion post­ed on the site is tru­ly yours. This way you can be sure that your cus­tomers receive only reli­able and trust­wor­thy infor­ma­tion.

DSGVO and SSL certificates

The Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR) makes it manda­to­ry for com­pa­nies oper­at­ing online stores or con­tact forms to encrypt cus­tomer data with an SSL cer­tifi­cate as of May 2018.

Com­pa­nies that had already tak­en care of an SSL Cer­tifi­cate for their web­site before May 2018 have the advan­tage of being legal­ly com­pli­ant and avoid­ing penal­ties. SSL Cer­tifi­cates offer opti­mal pro­tec­tion for sen­si­tive cus­tomer data and are a secure and reli­able way to con­duct busi­ness online.

SEO and SSL certificates

SSL-pro­tect­ed pages offer a whole range of ben­e­fits. For one, it increas­es cus­tomer con­fi­dence in a web­site by giv­ing them a sense of secu­ri­ty. In addi­tion, the con­tents of a web­site can be pro­tect­ed from unau­tho­rized access by SSL encryp­tion.

In addi­tion, an SSL Cer­tifi­cate allows search engines like Google to rank the site bet­ter, which ulti­mate­ly leads to high­er vis­i­bil­i­ty. As of July 2018, the use of an SSL Cer­tifi­cate also ensures that inse­cure con­nec­tions are flagged in the Google Chrome brows­er. There­fore, it is worth using an SSL Cer­tifi­cate for a web­site, as it makes the web­site more user-friend­ly, secure and vis­i­ble.
