Displaying the mark shows visitors that your website appears trustworthy, increases confidence and helps them feel safer purchasing from, or interacting with your brand.
The assessment happens within 24 hours and checks 28 different security aspects of your domain, email and website.
You will receive a score between 1 and 100 and a grade from A to D. You'll also get a detailed report showing any fixes needed to improve your score.
Once you get an A grade (70% or better) you can show the badge on your website showing visitors it is provably trustworthy.
