The Company

Recognizing the need for a quality, affordable method of providing trust in a site’s security and business operations, WebSafe Shield was built to provide an efficient, scalable means for people to join our trust-conscious community.

Utilizing industry-standard software and tools, WebSafe Shield conducts security vulnerability assessments from a database of over 31,000 vulnerability checks. When a website passes our security vulnerability assessment, the website is authorized to display our Hacker Free Site seal.  This seal allows visitors to become more confident interacting with a secured website, thereby increasing you visitor’s adoption of new services. In January 2009, WebSafe Shield introduced 5 new seals to help website owners further establish a level of trust with their potential customers.

WebSafe Shield was privately funded in September 2007, with staff in the US, Romania, Thailand, UK and India.  Our security professionals are CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) certified.
