Appropriate security of personal data
But is your website secure though ?
You know the little padlock symbol you see in your browser bar ? That shows whether a website is secure .
It technically means the website has an SSL certificate . ( If you ’ re wondering , SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer . Bet you ’ re glad you asked .)
If you ’ re storing any personal data on your website , you absolutely must have an SSL certificate . This encrypts transmission of the data .
In October 2017 , Google implemented the second part of its plan to label any sites without an SSL certificate as non-secure .
So even if your site only has a contact form , unless it has an SSL certificate , your visitors might get a nasty warning . That will probably freak some people out , and that means less traffic to your site , so it ’ s best to take action today .
