High-assurance EV & OV certificates protect your brand
EV TLS/SSL certificates protect businesses and brands because they certify that website owners are the authentic owners of their website.
Before you can obtain an EV certificate, users must demonstrate that they have legal rights to represent their business organization, web domain, physical address, and business entity, among 14 other criteria.
OV certificates are secondary to EV because they require similar methods of authentication, including verifying the web domain, and affiliated business organization, such as Inc., Corp, LLC, etc. However, OV certificates only require 9 methods of validation compared to the 14 methods required for EV.
