2017 SSL audit
C U R R E N T ( last 12 months)
Secure SSL site AUDIT:
during February 2017, an audit of the site's pages is being made
These tables show the progress so far
The idea is that, even though an SSL certificate is in place, a physical check still has to be made on each page of the site to actually SEE whether that page IS secure (any problems will be reported by the browser and must be corrected)
Due to the steps taken during the preparation stage, errors found so far have been minimal

please help out the pcso-National website!
You can help, simply click on any link seen on this page and add to your Facebook timeline
OR tweet one of the links
Many of these links are ancient of course but they are still interesting
and you may have some tangent that you can highlight to add extra meaning

This site has had an SSL certificate since Feb 2017
HTTPS signals the browser to use an added encryption layer of SSL/TLS to protect our traffic. SSL/TLS is especially suited for HTTP, since it can provide some protection even if only one side of the communication is authenticated. This is the case with HTTP transactions over the Internet, where typically only the server is authenticated (by the client examining the server's certificate).
HTTPS creates a secure channel over an insecure network. This ensures reasonable protection from eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks, we enjoy good cipher suites and our server certificate
