¶ºÒõ¹Ý

Regardless of the type of SSL Certificate (OV or EV) an organization is purchasing, ¶ºÒõ¹Ý can perform the validation process using our own resources and without up-front documentation from the organization most of the time.

Occasionally, however, ¶ºÒõ¹Ý needs some extra documentation to hasten the validation process. At these times, we will request specific documentation from the organization. The two most common methods for providing ¶ºÒõ¹Ý with the necessary documents are by email or by uploading them to the organization’s ¶ºÒõ¹Ý account.

However, in a recent study, Elie found that most . Of the 700,000 Alexa Top Million email servers, only 35% configure encryption correctly. The other 65% could still be vulnerable to compromise.

Although ¶ºÒõ¹Ý’s email servers are properly configured and secure, the mail server a given organization uses may not be. For this reason, email is not the most secure option for sending sensitive documentation. ¶ºÒõ¹Ý prefers that organizations submit documents through their ¶ºÒõ¹Ý account, which is secured with an EV SSL Certificate.

The benefit of submitting documents through the account is that the account is secure and documents go directly to the ¶ºÒõ¹Ý validation team speeding up the validation process even more.

The process for submitting a document in a customer’s ¶ºÒõ¹Ý account is easy and straightforward. Start by logging-in to your ¶ºÒõ¹Ý account, click on the order number, scroll down, and under Validation Documents, click on the Upload.

If the choice is ever between sending a document by email or through a secure account, always choose to submit it through a secure account. It’s safe and easy.
