Make Sure Your Website is Secure

With credit card fraud being so prevalent online, customers become weary when they are asked to input a credit card number. There are several things that you can do to secure your website, including your customer’s transactions.

A security certificate will help protect against unauthorized access to sensitive information, including credit card information, customer addresses, social security numbers, and customer names. Security certificates (also called a Secure Sockets Layer or SSL) encrypts information. If your site has a security certificate, a padlock icon will display in the address bar.

If you are gathering sensitive information on a form, such as dates of birth or social security information, make sure that you are using a secured form.

When you are adding a security certificate or a secured form to your website, use a company that you trust. Security certificates and secure forms are both available through HIT web design.
