Configure your DigiCert Smart Seal or Norton seal

DigiCert Secure Site Pro and Secure Site TLS/SSL certificates come with the two most recognized trust marks on the web: DigiCert Smart Seal and Norton seal*. Use one of these premium site seals to display proof of trust on your site. Site seals are available in your CertCentral account.

*If you choose to display the Norton seal on your website, please note that the Norton seal is available until October 16, 2023. If you have questions or concerns about using the Norton seal, please contact your account manager or our support team.

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 only access the site seal 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 features included 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 allows you to 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.
    Learn how to render this file type.
  • 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

You can upload your company logo to your certificate order. Preview it in your site seal hover-over effect and animation so you can 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 click on the DigiCert Smart Seal or Norton seal*, you see additional 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 you can add 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.
