How to add a cWatch trust seal to your website

If you want to add a cWatch trust seal to your website, it's important to understand what the seal represents and how it works. A cWatch trust seal is a website security badge that reflects your site's current security status based on cWatch scan results and protection settings. Depending on the website's status, the seal may indicate that the site is malware-free or actively protected by the cWatch.

When you add a cWatch trust seal to your website, visitors can view information about the site's security posture based on the status reported by cWatch. The seal automatically reflects the current security status of the website and may display either a Malware-free or Protected designation, depending on scan results and active protection status. In this article, you'll learn about the available trust seal types and how to add a cWatch trust seal to your website.

The trust seal reflects the current security posture of the website and is available in two status levels:

Note: You can choose the option that best matches your website design. The trust seal is available in both light and dark versions to help it blend seamlessly with your site's appearance.
