Why is certification a good idea?
Even if you already care strongly about security, and diligently test the security of your network, sites and applications from both inside and outside your router, the chances are that few people outside your own organisation know whether your network is secure or not. The Audited by Netcraft seal is your opportunity to demonstrate the care and attention that you take in your Internet security to the people who matter most: the people who actually use your site. This means that these people can use your services with a much greater degree of assurance than if they know nothing at all about your approach to security. Generating a higher degree of trust amongst consumers of your services means that all aspects of your Internet presence will be more effective.
