This certificate is right for you if:
You need to guarantee privacy and protection in data and information transmission between your web server and your customers’ web browsers using 256, 128, 56 or 40-bit encryption (depending on the browser’s compatibility).
The identity of your organization is so vital that you need your company details added to the certificate contents. Your organizational details need to be inserted in a digital certificate if you need to prove your company identity online (and not just your domain name). This is important in a variety of situations, most notably when conducting eCommerce transactions. If this is important to your business, you should consider SSL Web Server Certificates or SGC SuperCerts.
You need full authentication and verification to confirm your company registration details, prove your domain is owned by your company, and get a third party to authorize that the person whose name appears on the certificate is employed by your business.
