Trust and security - switch to SSL now!

Trust and security - switch to SSL now!

With an SSL certificate, you can encrypt all communication on your online presence, including your customers' sensitive data. Whether online shop or normal website: As soon as users have the opportunity to enter data via a personal login area, an order form or a contact form, it must be guaranteed that this communication is secure. Otherwise, sensitive customer data would be defencelessly exposed to hacks and viruses.

Hacks and viruses? Who is supposed to attack me? Malicious software is becoming increasingly intelligent and spreads fully automatically, sometimes at breakneck speed.

Further advantages of an SSL certificate:

• Google rewards websites with SSL encryption in search results and will rank insecure websites lower in the future - be one step ahead of your competitors!
• Current browsers such as Firefox, Chrome or Edge clearly indicate a secure website in the address bar (e.g.: www.newmedialabs.de) - this creates trust!
• Google itself has carried out extensive testing: According to this, significantly more visitors click on a website with SSL encryption in the search results than a website without encryption! Google even reports massive drops for unencrypted Google AdWords adverts.
• According to studies, the SSL icon in the browser address bar serves as a seal of quality for a website or online shop! The bounce rate of SSL-encrypted pages is therefore much lower.

Why you should react right now:

• The law requires it: Operators of websites and online shops are now legally obliged to protect the personal data of visitors with suitable measures against unauthorised access from outside! SSL has established itself as a suitable measure over the years and is therefore state of the art. (§ 13 para. 7 TMG)
• Browser warns of insecure connection: As soon as data is transferred on a website, websites without SSL are labelled as "Not secure" in the address bar. In the foreseeable future, this warning will also be displayed for non-secure websites without data transmission!
