SSL certificates: SMEs

Every SME has to contend with the challenge of IT security. How can a competitive advantage be created with this?

Why should SMEs use certificates?

Every SME has to contend with the challenge of IT security, with some companies better at solving this problem, and others less so. Those among the ‘good ones’ have a competitive advantage, because this increases customer trust, minimises business risks and gives their websites a higher rank in search engine results.

Which certificates do SMEs need?


Securing every connection with SSL certificates is important, especially when it comes to processing customer data. S/MIME certificates for signing and encrypting email traffic are another important topic.

How can SMEs obtain certificates?

For the purchase of individual certificates

Do you need SSL certificates selectively in your company to secure important connections? Select your product, validation level, quantity and validity period in the webshop. You will receive an email containing instructions on what to do next once you’ve made payment. Installing the certificate is quick and easy. All it takes is six steps and then you’ll be communicating securely over an encrypted connection. 

For the purchase of larger quantities of certificates

Management becomes complex as the number of certificates increases. Expired certificates block processes in the company and with validity periods becoming ever shorter, certificates have to be replaced frequently. What’s more, as the company grows, the number of certificates also increases and new fields of application are added. SMEs that rely on automated management at an early stage solve these problems and gain a competitive advantage.
