McAfee Secure Versus Trust Guard

In many ways, Trust Guard and McAfee Secure (formally Hacker Safe) are the same. Both companies offer ASV certified PCI Scanning and have made it their mission to make the Internet a better, safer place for both consumers and merchants by increasing consumer confidence in online shopping.

Security Seals, by companies like Trust Guard and McAfee Secure help to make Internet purchases safer by reinforcing better security practices among website owners, and by setting a higher standard among online businesses - giving them a powerful way to differentiate themselves.

However, while their PCI Scanning services may be the same, these two companies address security in very different ways.

As mentioned above, both Trust Guard and McAfee Secure provide ASV certified PCI Scanning, which both actively scan your servers for security breaches from hackers, viruses, etc. Testing is performed on each of their clients sites to provide information on possible vulnerabilities within the server that could directly affect online purchases and the sensitive information provided by customers.

When you compare both companies side-by-side, you will find that Trust Guard is the premier alternative to McAfee Secure. While McAfee Secure only does PCI Scanning, Trust Guard combines PCI Scanning with their industry leading 3rd party website verification process to deliver superior security, privacy and business identity solutions. As part of their website verification process, Trust Guard ensures that companies are accurately portraying themselves to the buying public by verifying the businesses physical address, phone number, support email, and the websites SSL. In addition, Trust Guard is also the price leader in the industry, saving you almost 50% over McAfee, which makes it's easy to see why Trust Guard is the best choice for your security needs.

It is a proven fact that website credibility, and more specifically Security Seals, are major contributors to building trust and establishing credibility on a website, building customer confidence. The 3rd party assurance that Security Seals provide help make consumers feel safe as they provide sensitive information in order to make purchases online, resulting in more sales for your online business.
