McAfee Scan Certifies AutoInsurance.com as Secure
Although no sensitive personal information is needed to use the car insurance rate generator, the site still has gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of any non-sensitive personal info.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 02, 2011 ) Houston, TX - Consumers using quote-comparison website AutoInsurance.com can now feel even more assured that their personal information will be kept safe after it recently received a SECURE certification from technology security company McAfee, Inc.
Certification of the website—which generates free auto insurance rate estimates by using non-sensitive personal data and public rate filings—means that McAfee runs security scans on a daily basis to ensure that the site does not engage in questionable online security practices. The McAfee secure trustmark featured on the home page lets the consumer know that the car insurance site is free of excessive pop-ups, dangerous site affiliations, online scams and unauthorized access to users’ personal information.

A report released last year by Javelin Strategy and Research indicates that online security is becoming increasingly important. Javelin’s latest Fraud Survey Report showed that the number of American identity fraud victims was more than 11 million in 2009, which represents a 12-percent increase from the previous year. With the heightened risk of transmitting personal data over the Web, consumers would do well to evaluate a site before submitting their info.
But looking for the McAfee trustmark is only one of the many precautions that online shoppers can take. Other logos that can indicate a heightened devotion to security are those of TRUSTe and Verisign. The TRUSTe and Verisign logos should be clickable and should take the user to a page that will show whether the site has been verified or is under review.
In addition to checking for these logos, consumers can also see if a site uses Secure Socket Layers (SSL) that deter third parties from getting access to any data. Use of SSL can be determined by looking at the Web address of any page asking for information. If the address prefix changes from “http” to “https”, then SSL has been installed on the site.
Other precautions to take include checking online reputations and reviewing terms of use and privacy policy pages in order to see how or whether any information will be distributed to third parties.
Although generating quotes from top insurance providers through http://autoinsurance.com does not require any sensitive data like driver’s license or social security numbers, the administrators of the insurance site still keep that non-sensitive personal data secure in order to maintain the best possible user experience.
