Look at the URL of the website. If it begins with “https” instead of “http,” it means the site is secured using an TLS/SSL certificate (the s in https stands for secure). TLS certificates secure all of your data as it is passed from your browser to the website’s server. To get a TLS certificate, the company must go through a validation process.
However, there are a few different levels of validation — and some of them are easier to get through than others. The lowest level of validation, Domain Validation (DV), simply validates ownership of the domain and not the legitimacy of the organization requesting the certificate. In other words, if you bought the domain “amaz0n.com” and requested a certificate for it, you would get the certificate because you own the domain. Browsers will also show a little lock in the address bar to show that the site is secured with TLS encryption. See images below of what that looks like in popular browsers. However, note that the lock will just tell you if a site has encryption or not and you have to look beyond the lock for higher indictors of trust.
The highest level of validation, Extended Validation (EV), is the safest and most extensive. With Extended Validation, the company requesting the certificate has to prove their identity as well as their legitimacy as a business. You can tell if a site has an EV certificate by looking at the address bar. EV certificate information is generally accessible by clicking on the padlock in the address bar. Look for these five signs that a website is safe:
Look for the “S” in HTTPS. ...
Check for a website privacy policy. ...
Find their contact information. ...
Verify their trust seal. ...
Know the signs of website malware.
