Trust Guard or Hacker Safe?
If your here you must be wondering which is right for you Hacker Safe or Trust Guard. Well both of them should increase your sales but what makes the difference is your business. What kind of business do you have? How big is your business? What are you selling or are you selling anything? Is there a security risk on your website? These are all great questions to ask yourself when debating on whether to purchase Trust-Guard or Hacker Safe.
After some research here are some of the results I have came to.
In most cases Trust Guard will be the better solution due to its cost. If, however, you have over 20,000 sales a year and you store important information such as credit cards on your server you may want to consider Hacker-Safe.
Many website have both Trust-Guard and Hacker Safe on their websites and after a number of reported tests, Trust-Guard has been known to have the same or better conversion rate as HackerSafe but for about 1/4 of the price. For me it basically comes down to this: If you are storing sensitive information on your server (ie: not going through a Yahoo store, Paypal, Google Checkout, etc.) and you have over 20,000 products being sold per year, it may be a wise decision to purchase Hacker Safe. If you are simply worried about your conversion rate and would like to see an increase in sales, Trust-Guard will definitely give you that increase in your sales and give you a bonus over your competitors.
I’m starting a small local baking business. I haven’t developed a website yet, however it will be important for my business to take orders online. Would Trust-Guard be enough for me? Would I have to contact credit card comp. for additional assistance, or would everything go through you? Thanks for any assistance.

Trust Guard doesn’t actually take orders, they just verify that your business is real so your customers feel safe purchasing from you. You may want to look into a shopping cart if you are concerned about processing the payments.
As far as security though, yes Trust Guard would be enough. I would recommend either a single security seal or the multiseal package in your case.
