Seal Overview

The Security Verified seal is our most popular seal. It almost flawlessly pays for itself over and over and is the smart merchant's first choice. Shopping cart owners and merchants with large quantities of different items have reported the most success in conversion rates after being certified for this seal.

This seal instills the trust in your website a visitor needs to become a buyer. It increases buyer confidence and awareness that your business has actively looked into keeping things secure because BuyerShield is vouching for your security integrity. So your customers feel confident that their data will be kept safe and their order will go off without a hitch. This seal is designed to be shown on all pages on shopping cart websites, and on order pages on smaller websites. Other examples include pages where a user needs to supply credit card information (for verification only) where no charge occurs, or other delicate information where abandonment rates are high due to lack of confidence.

To qualify for this seal

1. We validate your company or individual information to your website information.
   
   
2. Validate SSL certificates if any (not required if you use third party processor like Paypal, ClickBank, RegNow etc).
   
   
3. We then perform manual security tests of the applicable website(s). These include, and are not limited to, verification that there are no security holes with your custom or publicly available website software and more.
   
   
4. We also confirm the security of your order pages and other pages including user data collection pages. These tests go beyond standard PCI Scanning and actually try to verify your entire website is secure and that a hacker cannot destroy your website nor extract information from your databases. This is what seperates BuyerShield from the rest of the pack. We really do use the required talent to verify if we believe your website is "hacker safe".

All our tests are passive, in that they are perfectly safe. We guarantee this because our tests are done the proper way - manually - by a team of security experts that will gently apply specific tests for your specific website. You can never completely trust automated scripts to verify the security of your business website, such as daily PCI scanning, as every website is different and the "one size fits all" myth to security does not work when it comes to different websites and corresponding technologies. There are countless PCI scanned websites that have been hacked into. It's simply not enough.

The only effective way to properly diagnose website security is to cater security testing to that specific website, which is exactly what BuyerShield does, and your buyers will know this when they click on your seal.

This seal greatly boosts conversion rates and the trust your visitors feel in your website.
