SSL Report - Secure Sockets Layer

Have you ever used your web browser and noticed a green lock next to the website URL? That lock signifies that you are on an SSL-compliant website. «SSL» stands for secure sockets layer and is a security measure that encrypts sensitive data on different websites. SSL Labs is an organization that offers comprehensive testing and reporting detailing how organizations are handling SSL on their client-facing websites and internal servers.

There isn’t actually an official set of compliance rules in order to become SSL Report-certified. Qualys SSL Labs uses an online diagnostic test that looks at the status of your overall SSL setup. This test grades your servers with a sliding letter grade scale and generates recommendations on how to improve your score after the test is complete. There aren’t any penalties enforced if you receive a bad score. However, a poor SSL certificate setup can lead to potential sanctions under other compliance regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, PIPEDA and more.

Every TaxDome account features SSL-encrypted security. All of our accounts are run on our international network of SSL-encrypted data centers. Each one of these servers has been SSL-A certified by SSL Report.

TaxDome’s team of SSL hosting experts audits all of our data centers using SOC-level reporting standards. We also monitor all of our accounts and servers for any necessary software upgrades, patches, and potential technical issues so that you don’t have to.
