Domain Validated

Essential SSL is a domain validated (DV) SSL certificate, meaning you must prove ownership of your registered domain to Sectigo. This can be done a couple of ways and takes just minutes, after which your certificate can be immediately issued. Seriously, it takes 15 minutes tops.

Industry-Standard Encryption

You never have to worry about your encryption faltering with Sectigo. You get encryption strength up to 256-bit and a powerful 2048-bit signature key with every certificate. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) compatibility is also available.

$10,000 Warranty

If the promise of strong encryption strength didn’t ease your concerns, maybe the fact Sectigo backs its products with generous warranties will. If there’s ever any issue on Sectigo’s end you’ll be covered for up to 10 grand.

Remove Negative Indicators

For many site owners, getting SSL only became a matter of necessity after Google started marking HTTP pages “Not Secure.” Essential SSL removes those warnings and gets your site marked “Secure” and enables HTTPS.

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 Instant SSL line or even a Sectigo EV SSL if assurance is a top priority. Otherwise, Essential SSL is everything you need for basic encryption.
