Building Trust Online: Security Best Practices

As more businesses go digital, customers are increasingly concerned about their safety online. Whether you run an e-commerce store or a service website, securing your digital platform is essential to earning trust.

Cyber threats like phishing, data breaches, and fake checkout pages are on the rise in Africa. To protect your users and reputation, you must implement key security measures such as SSL certificates, secure payment gateways, regular backups, and two-factor authentication.

A secure website doesn't just protect your customers—it boosts your credibility. Users are more likely to buy from sites that display a padlock symbol or offer verified payment options like M-Pesa, PayPal, or Flutterwave.

Create a culture of trust by showing privacy policies, requesting strong passwords, and enabling CAPTCHA to block spam bots. Trust drives sales.
