Security Seals

The Trust Guard security seal has long been a symbol of trust and security for both business owners and customers alike. For those unfamiliar with Trust Guard’s security seals, they are small seals that shows the world that your business has proper security measures in place. These seals are like a stamp of approval and they are proven to increase sales. The world wide web doesn’t have the safest reputation but third party verification puts customers at ease because they know that a website with a Trust Guard Security Seal is a website worth trusting. “…it is so important to directly address security on your website. One of the most effective ways to do this is by adding a security seal to your site. A security seal instantly informs your customer that you have security measures in place to protect their information, and that these measures have been verified by a reliable 3rd party. Here at Trust Guard, we have different security seals depending on the level of security verification you want or need. “ Trust Guard’s Security, Business, and Privacy Seals now come in 3 styles, 4 sizes, and 4 colors and are customizable for any website needs.

Business Seals

Are potential customers willing to blindly believe that you are who you claim to be? “In a recent Consumer Reports survey, 95% of the people surveyed said that they wanted access to a website’s business email address, street address and phone number.” However, even after you add your info how can anyone know that the information is real? The downside of the internet is that it’s very difficult to trust a business, to believe they are who they claim to be and that they provide the service they claim to provide. According to MicroBusinessHub (dot)co.uk, “When someone lands on your e-commerce website they will have the following questions:

Do you have what I am looking for?
What are the variations, options, choices?
How much is it?
When can I get it by?
And a final question which is running through in the back of the their mind whilst they find answers to the previous 4….

Can I trust you with my order?”

 

Trust Guard says it best on their website, “The Trust Guard Business Verified Seal is the fastest, most effective way to let your customers know that you are who you say you are. By displaying the Business Verified trust seal, your customers instantly know that your business information has been verified by Trust Guard. If the customer wants to find out how to contact you, they can either drag their mouse over the seal for instant confirmation, or they can click on the seal for a more detailed description of the verification process.”

Most people have a hard time realizing the true danger of cyber crime because for most it seems too “futuristic” too far fetched. It’s difficult to see that the movies we watched in the eighties, like The Terminator, where technology became too powerful for human beings and the result was fatal for pretty much everyone. Unfortunately, hacking, cyber security, identity theft, are no longer in the future and the consequences are very real. Remember the movie, The Net? Where the work from home woman loses her identity and is deleted from the system? Nowadays, not only is it not impossible, but it actually happens. People lose their identities every single day. Small online business’ started by families go under in minutes. The world of web crime is very real. It doesn’t stop there, even huge corporations lose million in hours as someone uses technology to infilitrate their business’ security and wars are waged online. 

It’s not the first time that China has been accused of political hacking but this time the world is worried as China confesses to knowing about the recent hack in South Korea which had a huge impact on the financial institutions of the country. It’s “not childs play” anymore, hacking could potentially have global consequences as North Korea has long been a source of tension for much of the western world. Their ally countries, China, who is backed by Russia only adds more heat to the already hot situation. What will happen next?

As a society and as a world we have to start taking cyber crime seriously. While the internet has huge advantages it also has great consequences. The first thing we should be doing is looking in our own backyard. Business owners must start investing more time and energy in prevention. Protecting their business and customers with website security should be a number one priority. Cyber crime is very real and before we can make a change globally we have to make the change mentally and realize that with “great power comes great responsibility.”
