Additional features have been added to the TrustWatch Search engine by GeoTrust Europe Inc, a provider of identity verification solutions for e-business and digital certificates.
TrustWatch Search is a free trusted search service aimed at preventing consumers from being victims of identity theft, phishing scams and web-based fraud. It verifies the security of a website by placing a green, yellow or red verification symbol beside each search result and displays CNET's Certified Store rating data, allowing consumers to evaluate merchant sites using additional data.
As well as verifying secure sites for e-commerce and other transactions the service now also verifies a number of content sites.
TrustWatch Search offers a site report facility to include site verification and SSL encryption, store ratings and website reviews, security certification, site attribute information and privacy policies. It enables consumers to evaluate and verify the integrity of a website, review merchants and report suspicious, phishing-related activity.
Feedback is collected and evaluated by GeoTrust, forwarded to anti-fraud organisations as appropriate and kept for potential future use in TrustWatch ratings. The updated TrustWatch Search can be found as a search box in the TrustWatch anti-phishing toolbar from GeoTrust and through http://www.TrustWatch.com as a destination consumer search site.
