Products by Validation

Domain Validation (DV)

• Issued instantly (under 10 minutes)
• Lowest cost, as validation is automated
• Secures your site

• Proves only that your site is secure (not your company too)
• Doesn't instil confidence in your business (as your business is not vetted)

• Sole traders
• Companies whose customers know and trust their website
• Anyone who only needs basic encryption

Organization Validation (OV)

• Validates both your site and your company
• Proves your business is legitimate and that it either owns or has permission to run your website

• Takes up to two days to issue your certificate, although we do our best to get them issued the same day
• Can require faxed documents
• Slightly more expensive than DV due to human vetting costs

• Ecommerce sites
• Anyone who wants to prove that both their site and their business is trustworthy

Extended Validation (EV)

• Activates the green bar of trust
• Instils highest levels of confidence in your online customers
• Protects your site against phishing attacks
