This guide explains how to add a dynamic trust seal on a secured site with a Sectigo SSL certificate.

Preface

• Infomaniak, as a hosting provider, offers SSL certificates to secure its clients' websites
• Sectigo (formerly known as Comodo) is a recognized SSL certificate provider that offers different levels of security
• The "dynamic trust seal," or "Sectigo Trust Seal" / "Sectigo Trust Logo," is a visual that website owners can display on their pages to indicate to visitors that their connection is secure, a sign of trust that informs users that transactions and information exchanges made on the site are encrypted and protected by an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo
• By using a Sectigo SSL certificate and displaying the dynamic trust seal, a website at Infomaniak thus benefits not only from securing data exchanges but also from an increase in user trust, which is essential in e-commerce and for protecting personal information

Add a Trust Seal

Here’s how a dynamic trust seal works:

1. Validation: To obtain such a seal, the site owner must first obtain a valid SSL certificate from Sectigo, which requires a validation process; depending on the chosen certificate level (Domain Validation - DV, Organization Validation - OV, or Extended Validation - EV), this validation may be more or less thorough
2. Installation: Once the SSL certificate is obtained and installed on Infomaniak's web server, the website can then establish secure connections via HTTPS
3. Seal Display: Sectigo provides HTML code or a script that the site owner can then integrate into their website; this code allows the display of the Sectigo dynamic trust seal
4. Update: The seal is often updated in real-time to reflect the current status of the SSL certificate; if the certificate were to expire or be revoked, the seal would also reflect this, thus warning potential visitors that the site may no longer be secure
    

The trust seal consists of an image and HTML code. This code only works if a Sectigo certificate is installed on the site and generates an interactive logo that displays the certificate data.
