With the increase in use of IT and
IT-enabled systems, networks and mobile communications, there’s increase in computer
frauds, hacking, network and mobile communication attacks for all businesses. The
internet is the market for thousands of products and services all over the
world. Users and buyers have the convenience of finding anything in fingertips.
As the internet is common to every household, E-commerce and online shopping has
also become a trend. Therefore, very internet user can be considered as a
potential buyer.
But you can ask any online potential
buyer or customer, the first thing he or she would ask- Can I trust this
website? Or is there any kind of IT security certification? Trust and
confidence are two terms which play a significant role for sale. The advantage
of online business is its accessibility to customers all over the world. But
its online presence creates doubts on the minds of customers such as its
legitimacy of the business, the quality of the product or services and security
of the personal data, most importantly financial information.
But such security threats and doubts
can be eliminated. First thing a customer checks whether your website secured
or unsecured. The most proactive way to give evidence to the customer is that
your website is secured. Secure Sockets Layer technology or SSL protocol has
been developed to protect transactions of financial and personal information on
the internet. That’s why IT security certification is essential for e-commerce
sites because it acts as a visible proof and passport to show that the online
business is legitimate and sensitive information is secured from hackers or
unauthorized use.
