While EV-SSL is not mandated to be PCI Compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), a set of requirements designed to ensure that all companies which handle credit card information maintain a secure environment, HelmetHead Cycle has taken the legal steps necessary to obtain their EV SSL seal.
EV SSL is characterized by the browser URL bar turning green on secured pages (designated by "https://" in the URL bar) in most modern web browsers. EV SSL certificates require the most stringent verification processes of all other SSL certificates.
High profile incidents of fraud and phishing scams have made Internet users very concerned about identity theft. Before they enter sensitive data, they want proof that the website can be trusted and their information will be encrypted. Without it, they might abandon their transaction and do business elsewhere. EV SSL Certificates provide third-party verification using a highly visual display that gives consumers confidence and builds trust in e-commerce.
Today's fastest growing threat is phishing, where a fraudulent web site impersonates a legitimate business to attract unsuspecting visitors into divulging personal information. The increasing awareness to this problem has caused consumers to not trust buying online.
HelmetHead Cycle (helmetheadcycle.com) has been in the e-commerce industry since 2001, initially beginning with their Helmet Sunblocker product. They have since expanded to include major product lines from GIVI, Staintune, Held, Famsa, Bridgestone, Pirelli and about 70 other manufacturers on the website alone. Over 25,000 SKU items are available by phone order. Dealer agreements for the Helmet Sunblocker reside in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Spain. International shipments of all products are available to every country in the world.
