    CertSimple is the fastest, simplest way for any company to provide who they are online.

    Companies like your bank, online wallet, or companies dealing with personal information prove their identity online by an 'extended validation' (or EV) SSL certificate. This matches a real legal identity to a website. Browsers then show that validated company name in the address bar when a user visits the site.

    Getting an EV SSL cert is normally a slow, painful process: existing companies typically quiote 7-10 days. CertSimple does the same thing in an average of five hours, and we're getting faster every day. We do that by checking identities live for 100M companies in 62 countries, connecting to independent business directories like Dunn & Bradstreet and Salesforce's data.com, and by a combination of technology and user experience knowledge that's unmatched.

    We're just coming out of tech accelerator Entrepreneur First, and we're raising funding to help us with our mission. Our numbers and growth are beautiful and we'd love to show them to you!
