Organization Validation (OV) SSL Certificate

What is an OV SSL Certificate?

Organization Validation (OV) SSL certificates are a particular subset of SSL certificates. The validation level of this type is higher than DV certificates, but lower than EV certificates. OV certificates are the right choice for small 0 to medium-sized businesses that process any kind of customer data on their websites, such as personal information, payment details, or passwords. Even websites that offer a simple contact form with names and email addresses should already use an OV certificate so third parties can’t access this vulnerable data.

Example:

OV SSL certificates are the best choice for any website that deals with customer data, including e-commerce websites and websites that allow users to create accounts or submit forms.
