ACTUAL CUSTOMER TEST RESULTS

"Trust Guard's seals improved conversion by 59.61%. (Case Study) I recommend Trust Guard because they are upfront, transparent, and their system automatically tests itself so you can see how well it works for you. The competition seems to focus on marketing & sales. Trust Guard focuses on results."

"Your Privacy Verified seal gave me a 4x bump in my tests, and your Security Verified seal is converting the same as Hacker Safe (now McAfee Secure)!

You've saved me about $1,300 per year, plus I'll get more sales due to the additional seals!"

The Trust Guard Total Offer

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Here at Trust Guard we help you to turn more of your visitors into loyal, paying customers, by instantly resolving their Security, Privacy, and Business Identity concerns with our industry leading trust seals and services below.

Security Seals – Security is the #1 concern that your customers have when visiting your website, which is why we offer three different security seals based on your particular needs.

The Trust Guard Daily PCI Security Scanned Seal is the first line of defense in protecting you and your customers from hackers and attacks, by actively scanning your website for over 25,000 known vulnerabilities every day (during off peak hours). In addition, we also combine this product with our industry leading 3rd party website verification service for additional credibility.

This seal includes PCI SAQ (Self-Assessment Questionnaire) forms, which together with our AVS certified PCI Scanning gives you the ability to qualify for PCI DSS Compliance with your bank or acquirer. (To learn more about PCI Scanning and PCI DSS Compliance, click here.)

Exclusive Backup Feature! The Daily PCI Security Scanned seal comes with a special backup feature unique to Trust Guard, where the system will automatically display the Quarterly PCI Security Verified seal if for some reason a daily scan fails (since quarterly PCI compliance is based on your last successful scan). In addition, if for some reason your Quarterly PCI scan fails, the system will default to our Security Verified seal (below) until the vulnerability scan passes again. This feature allows you to always display a security seal, based on the current security verification level you qualify for.


The Trust Guard Quarterly PCI Security Verified Seal is a great alternative to the daily Security Scanned option above, and is perfect for price conscious website owners that want to have their servers scanned and display a security seal, while meeting the minimum PCI requirements necessary for PCI DSS Compliance. Trust Guard is the only company online that offers Quarterly Scanned seals. This seal also includes our 3rd party website verification service.

Exclusive Backup Feature! If for some reason your Quarterly PCI scan fails, the system will default to our Security Verified seal (below) until the vulnerability scan passes again. This feature allows you to always display a security seal, based on the current security verification level you qualify for.


The Trust Guard Security Verified Seal is for websites that want to display a security seal but don’t necessarily need PCI Scanning. With our Security Verified seal, we validate your company information, review the security of your websites checkout process, and verify your SSL certificate.


Privacy Seal - Once you've addressed security, easing your customer’s privacy concerns is the next essential step to building a relationship of trust.

The Trust Guard Privacy Verified Seal is the second largest privacy seal program on the Internet next to Truste, and is on track to becoming the #1 privacy seal by the end of 2009. The Trust Guard Privacy Verified seal combines our own core privacy standards along with the standards of many leading privacy organizations and initiatives online, including the Federal Trade Commission Fair Information Practices, the California Online Privacy Policy Act, the CAN-SPAM Act, and the Children’s Online Privacy Policy Act (COPPA), thus giving you the most accurate, informative privacy policy possible.

What really sets us apart in the privacy industry is our innovative, user-friendly Professional Privacy Policy Generator, which takes all the hard work out of the privacy compliance process, and turns it into an incredibly simple 10-15 minute questionnaire that instantly generates a professional, easy-to-read policy, encompassing the standards of all of the privacy initiatives mentioned above while catering to your specific needs. If for some reason you don’t meet the standards of one or more of the initiatives, the policy generator will inform you of any additional steps needed to comply. Once you’re ready to publish your policy and we’ve reviewed it, you have the unique ability to upload it to your site or to simply press a button and have us host your policy for you for free. If you have an existing policy and want to update it in order to comply with the latest privacy initiatives, or you want to have it verified by Trust Guard in order to display the Privacy Verified seal on your site, we offer that service as well.


Business Seal – In a recent Consumer Reports survey, 95% of the people surveyed said that they wanted access to a website's business email address, street address and phone number.

The Trust Guard Business Verified Seal is the fastest, most effective way to let your customers know that you are who you say you are. By displaying the Business Verified seal, your customers instantly know that your business information has been verified by Trust Guard. If the customer wants to find out how to contact you, they can either drag their mouse over the seal for instant confirmation, or they can click on the seal for a more detailed description of the verification process.

Our service doesn’t stop there. As part of our Business Verification service, we also include professional, dispute resolution, which gives your customers a great way to resolve any special problems or unique issues with peace of mind in knowing that we’re there to help both parties come to a satisfactory resolution. Our dispute resolution service is very effective, and has saved many of our clients from harmful public complaints. One key benefit to our dispute resolution process is that it is done privately, which means that it will not be publicly posted by Trust Guard, thus helping to preserve your online reputation.

 

QUALITY AND INNOVATION

Here at Trust Guard, we’re constantly taking trust to new levels. As leaders in the security, privacy, and business identity industries, we're continually innovating and testing in an effort to further improve the quality of our products and services. Here are a few examples:

  • Custom Seals. Our custom seals give you the ability to add your domain name to your Trust Guard seals on your website. This provides two important benefits. First, it adds more authentication to the seals, and second, it makes it virtually impossible for anyone to duplicate or steal our seals and add them to non-verified sites, which protects the integrity of our brand and adds more value to your website.

  • Instant Confirmation. Instant confirmation gives you the ability to have your customers simply drag their mouse over your Trust Guard seals and have a mini-certificate instantly display with key information. This can be turned on or off with the click of a button in your control panel.

  • Video Security Seal. The Trust Guard Video Security Seal is a fully transparent, state-of-the-art streaming video that is combined with our various security seals above to create the ultimate peace of mind. What better way for your customer to know that your website is secure than to have a professional businesswoman actually tell them in a friendly, professional manner. This is available as a stand alone product for $247 a year, or it is included as a free bonus with any of our multi-seal packages.

  • Integrated Split Testing. Here at Trust Guard, we are huge believers in testing, so it only seemed natural to let our customers test as well. Our integrated split testing software turns the seals on and off on your website, keeping track of the sales over a large number of visitors. At the end of the test, you can see how many customers bought with the seals on, and how many bought with them off to determine the exact increase in conversion. This is a $197 value, and is included as a free bonus with every seal we offer.

  • PCI Scanning Services. Trust Guard’s ASV certified PCI Scanning services go hand in hand with our security seals, adding a whole new dimension to your website’s security. We are really excited to be able to offer you and your customers such a incredibly valuable service, and have done our very best to make it user-friendly and affordable for every business owner.
Here’s a partial list of some of the great things to come:
  • Upgraded Privacy Policy Services. In an effort to further improve and enhance our privacy initiatives, we will be launching the world’s first Privacy Monitoring service, which will actively monitor your privacy policy for changes, thus helping to keeping your policy current and up to date. We also plan on launching a privacy resolution service.

  • Trust Guard SSL. When setting up your shopping cart, it is important that you have an SSL certificate in place to protect your customer’s information during the checkout process. Our SSL certificates will be comparable to Verisign, GeoTrust, and Thawte’s certificates, and will be instantly available when you check out.

  • Shopper Feedback and Verification. The final frontier in improving customer trust is to get accurate, reliable feedback from your customers. Our Shopper Verification service will allow businesses to leverage the satisfaction value gained from every sale, by displaying verified feedback and testimonials from past customers to your future potential customers.

PRICE LEADER

Before you decide to buy Security, Privacy, or Business seals from any other company, consider this...

For PCI Scanning, Trust Guard is the premium alternative to McAfee Secure and Control Scan, and beats both competitors in Alexa, Compete, and Quantcast Rankings.

For Privacy Policy Compliance and Verification, Trust Guard is the premium alternative to Truste and is the #2 privacy seal program online.

For Business Verification, Trust Guard is the premium alternative to BBBOnline and is the only company that offers private dispute resolution.

In fact, we are the only company in the world that offers all three services together in one place, and the best part is that there are no setup fees, no contracts, and we offer affordable, flexible payment options - all for a fraction of the price that you would pay if you bought these services individually from our competition. In fact, if you were to buy all 3 of our competitors seals, you would be paying $2,400/yr. or more depending on your website's traffic and your companies income level. Compare that to Trust Guard's Multi-Seal Package with Daily PCI Scanning (including all of the valuable bonuses and our guarantee) for just $67/mo. or $697/yr., and your choice becomes clear. By switching to Trust Guard, you save over $1,700 a year!

We hope that this information has helped you to make a more educated decision when considering your trust seal options, and we look forward to helping you improve your online trust and credibility, and increasing your online sales.
