The Smart SeaL is a free, clickable trust badge that comes with every SSL.com certificate.

A real-time trust signal backed by SSL.com verification

The Smart SeaL is more than a static badge. Clicking it triggers a live Site Report, generated in real time from SSL.com’s systems, that displays your certificate’s current status, the website address, and information about your organization. Only a site with a valid, active SSL.com certificate will generate a genuine Site Report.

The Smart SeaL is free. It is included at no additional cost with every SSL.com certificate.

Key capabilities

Smart SeaL Artifacts

Smart SeaL Artifacts take trust a step further.

You control which pages to publish, or turn the feature off entirely.
