Website Security - Golem Wesbite Security Seals

Golem Technologies provides security scanning services to websites. As part of this service, site owners can optionally post a security seal to their site. This seal is updated every time the page is loaded, and displays different results depending on the site status. There are two types of seals you may see.

Verified Secure Sites

website security seal This seal is shown when a site is scanned, and the latest scans have found no vulnerabilities which might lead to compromise of the website or the users data. Generally, this means the site has taken time to do security properly and secure users data in the correct ways.

The date shown on the seal is the last scan date. Golem Security recommends weekly scans, so as long as the date is not too old, you should have no worries about trusting a site with this seal.

Sites which could not be verified

insecure website security seal This seal may be shown for a variety of reasons, and does not necessarily indicate an insecure site. It can be shown for the following reasons:

The site was not found in the scan database, or could not be verified
The site received a security warning after being scanned, which could allow compromise of the site or user data.

Even if a site is found by the scanner to have vulnerabilities, some false positives may exist in the scan.

Adding a Seal to your site

Adding a seal is very simple and easy! Existing customers can update their site with the following code to add a badge. Make sure you place it where users are likely to see it to get the best conversion rate boost!
