The ProtectedBySSL™ trust mark appears only after a registered website has been tested and passes our extensive daily security scan. Our tests consist of: Checking to ensure that the website uses SSL/TSL encryption when a user must enter personal data such as a credit card, telephone number, name, date of birth and so on. Outbound links and internal links that may lead to unsafe data, such as viruses and trojans. Reported phishing scams caught by our award-winning proprietary NoHook™ security software. Other online dangers that could potentially affect your security. This test indicates that a website meets standard industry guidelines in an effort to help protect your information from hackers. The information provided here is to help you gauge the relative security measures that the website takes to ensure the safety of you and your data online. No test, including this or any other security testing, does not and cannot guarantee security.
