Configure your DigiCert Smart Seal
DigiCert Secure Site Pro and Secure Site TLS/SSL certificates come with the most recognized trust marks on the web, the DigiCert Smart Seal. Use this premium site seal to display proof of trust on your site. The site seal is available in your CertCentral account.
Important
Displaying the Norton site seal on your website?
On October 17, 2023, DigiCert will replace the Norton site seal image with our DigiCert site seal image wherever it appears on websites secured by Secure Site or Secure Site Pro TLS certificates.
Contact your account manager or DigiCert Support if you have questions or concerns about the Norton seal.
Note
DigiCert Smart Seal does not set or use cookies of any kind.
Before you begin
Make sure DigiCert has issued your certificate and you have the certificate's order number. Site seals are tied to the issued certificate order. You can access the site seal only from your issued certificate's Order # details page.
Previewing site seal and information page changes
Site seal and information page changes may take up to two hours to appear on your website. DigiCert recommends using the preview feature on the Site seal page to preview your modifications rather than waiting for them to appear on your website.
Company logos
The DigiCert Smart Seal lets you add your company logo to the site seal. Before you upload your company logo, make sure it is formatted correctly:
File format must be SVG Tiny Portable/Secure file.
The image should have a square aspect ratio (1:1).
Use non-transparent backgrounds.
Center the image.
A centered image displays optimally in a circle.
DigiCert must approve company logos
Upload your company logo to your certificate order. Preview it in your site seal's hover-over effect and animation to see how it will appear. Then save your site seal configuration.
However, DigiCert must approve your company logo before it appears in the DigiCert Smart Seal on your website.
Your company logo must:
Accurately represent the organization as listed on the certificate.
Not contain obscene or pornographic images.
Not contain profanity or offensive language.
The Smart Seal animation works without your logo. Once approved, the Smart Seal on your website updates automatically to include your logo.
Site seal information page
When you interact with the DigiCert Smart Seal, you see details about the domain, the organization, the TLS/SSL certificate, and the validation.
Secure Site and Secure Site Pro certificates allow you to add information to the site seal information page. This additional information enables site visitors to see the steps you are taking to ensure your website is secure:
Blocklist check
Whether your CT log monitoring is enabled
Malware scan date
PCI compliance scan date
How long you've been a DigiCert customer
CT Log monitoring
CT log monitoring is only available for Secure Site Pro certificates. Before adding CT log monitoring to your site seal's information page, you must enable CT log monitoring for your certificate order.
PCI compliance scan
PCI compliance scan is only available for Secure Site Pro and Secure Site EV certificates. Before you can add the PCI compliance scan to your site seal's information page, you must enable the Vulnerability assessment service for your certificate order.
Configure your DigiCert Smart Seal
The DigiCert Smart Seal allows you to choose the seal size, enable a hover effect, enable animation, add your company logo, and configure the site seal information page.
In your CertCentral account, in the left main menu, go to Certificates > Orders.
On the Orders page, in the Order # column, select the certificate's order number link.
On the Order # details page, select Site Seal.

Blocklist

PCI compliance scan
To add the date of the most recently completed PCI compliance scan, check Enable. Site visitors can see that you monitor your website to ensure it complies with PCI DDS Standards.

Items to note:
Site seal modifications may take up to two hours to appear on your website.
The site seal code only works on domains included on the TLS/SSL certificate order.
