Why Digital Certificates Matters for Australian Schools

In today’s digital world, Australian schools, colleges, and universities rely heavily on online platforms for learning, communication and administration. This brings the responsibility of protecting sensitive data, student records, staff information and financial transactions from cyber threats.

Hackers are targeting educational institutions more and more, so security is paramount. Client Authentication & SSL certificates provide an extra layer of protection by encrypting the connection between the user and server, preventing unauthorised access and data integrity.

Types of SSL Certificates Available

We have a range of SSL & Digital certificates to suit educational institutions

Domain Validated SSL (DV SSL)

Domain Validated (DV) SSL is the fastest and most affordable option, perfect for schools and educational institutions needing essential website and porter encryption. Issued in minutes with a simple domain ownership verification, DV SSL gives you secure connections without the hassle.

Organisation Validated SSL (OV SSL)

Organisation Validated (OV) SSL verifies domain ownership and the institution’s details. It is suitable for schools, colleges and universities that want to display their verified organisational details so visitors know the institution is valid. With OV SSL, your educational website or portal will look more trustworthy to parents, students, and faculty.

Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL)

Extended Validation (EV) SSL is the highest level of trust for educational institutions. With a more thorough verification process, visitors know you mean business. This level of validation is for institutions that handle sensitive data like tuition payments, student records or confidential communications.

Wildcard SSL Certificates

Wildcard SSL is for educational institutions that manage multiple subdomains under one primary domain. Secure your main website and unlimited subdomains like student portals, faculty dashboards and learning management systems with one certificate. Wildcard SSL simplifies management and ensures every connected platform is secure.

Multi-Domain SSL Certificates (SAN/UCC)

Multi-domain SAN SSL is for schools and universities to secure multiple domains and subdomains with one certificate. Suitable for institutions that manage multiple websites, online learning platforms or administrative systems, this simplifies management and costs while securing your entire digital footprint.

Email SMIME Certificates

Email SMIME Certificates allow educational institutions to encrypt and digitally sign emails so staff, students and parents can communicate privately and securely. These certificates protect sensitive information and prevent phishing attacks, making your internal communication safer.
