Assurance & Authentication

Essential SSL is all about the basics, it provides just what’s essential for small to mid-sized business – that’s quality, industry-standard encryption, a decent Sectigo site seal and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your site has steadfast connection security. That’s all most site owners need. But if you’re running a business or an organization that needs to establish trust, it would be wrong not to tell you that the Essential SSL line may not provide enough assurance. You may want to consider the InstantSSL line or even a Sectigo EV SSL if assurance is a top priority. Otherwise, Essential SSL is everything you need for basic encryption.
