Standard Life protects your data being transmitted over the internet by making use of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, which is a universal standard on the internet. An SSL session provides protection from interception and tampering of your personal data.
When you access My Standard Life, two processes occur:
- An SSL session is negotiated
- Your login details are transferred, however this will not occur unless an SSL session is negotiated successfully.
The key to this process is to note that although the Standard Life home page is delivered in an unsecure manner, no personal details are transferred until an SSL session is negotiated which will ensure the information you provide Standard Life will remain safe and secure.
We also use Extended Validation SSL (EVSSL) protocols on many of our secured websites, allowing you to clearly see when you access a secure webpage. When entering a website that is secured with an EVSSL certificate, text within the address bar will turn green offering greater assurance that you are visiting an authentic website.
