Organization Validation (OV)

Organization Validation (OV) is a process used to verify the identity of a company or organization before issuing a digital security certificate. It ensures that the organization requesting the certificate is legitimate and trustworthy by checking official records, such as business registrations and legal documents. OV certificates display the organization's details in the digital certificate, providing users with confidence that they are connecting to a verified entity. This process enhances online security by confirming that the website or service is operated by a genuine organization, reducing the risk of fraud or impersonation.
