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

Preamble

• As a host, Infomaniak 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 the transactions and information exchanges carried out 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 benefits not only from secure data exchange but also from increased user trust, which is essential for e-commerce and personal information protection.

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 level of certificate chosen (Domain Validation - DV, Organization Validation - OV or Extended Validation - EV), this validation can be more or less in-depth
2. Installation: once the SSL certificate is obtained and installed on the Infomaniak web server, the website is then able to establish secure HTTPS connections
3. Displaying the seal: Sectigo provides an HTML code or a script that the site owner can then integrate into their website; this code allows the dynamic trust seal from Sectigo to be displayed
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 reflect this as well, thus warning potential visitors that the site might no longer be secure
    

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