McAfee SECURE certification is becoming TrustedSite Certification

On June 30, 2021, the McAfee SECURE™ service will transition to TrustedSite Certification, and the McAfee SECURE trustmark will no longer be available.

With this transition, TrustedSite is excited to upgrade McAfee SECURE certification customers with even more best-in-class online trust-building tools, at no additional cost.

What McAfee SECURE certification customers should expect

On June 30, 2021, existing subscriptions for McAfee SECURE certification will be upgraded to TrustedSite Certification Pro at no additional cost. Your subscription pricing will remain unchanged for as long as you renew the service.

From there, the McAfee SECURE trustmarks on your site will automatically be updated to the TrustedSite Certified Secure trustmark, so there’s no extra work to be done on your part. However, if you’d like assistance optimizing the placement of additional TrustedSite trustmarks, our implementation specialists will be happy to create a complimentary, customized placement strategy for your site.

In addition, your McAfee SECURE certification page will be transitioned to the TrustedSite certification page where you can display up to 7 certifications that your site has earned. As a previous holder of the McAfee SECURE certification, you’ll earn TrustedSite’s Certified Secure certification automatically.

Please note, if you are using legacy HTML trustmarks hosted on or linking to mcafeesecure.com, scanalert.com or hackersafe.com, you'll need to update your trustmark code from your account. Learn more in our help center article.

What TrustedSite Certification Pro customers should expect

For existing TrustedSite certified sites, this transition will bring billions more consumer impressions to the TrustedSite certification system, giving you more value for the service.

On June 30, if you have previously earned the McAfee SECURE certification, it will no longer display on your certification page. Additionally, sites currently displaying the McAfee SECURE trustmark will see it automatically update to the Certified Secure trustmark. If you’d like assistance optimizing trustmark placements on your site, our implementation specialists will be happy to work with you. Schedule an appointment
