A business-level SSL certificate typically falls under Organization Validation (OV)

 A business-level SSL certificate typically falls under Organization Validation (OV) SSL or Extended Validation (EV) SSL. These certificates require businesses to undergo a verification process, ensuring they are legally registered and operating.

Example of a Business-Level SSL Certificate (EV SSL)

🔹 Common Name (CN): paypal.com
🔹 Organization (O): PayPal, Inc.
🔹 Organizational Unit (OU): Security Department
🔹 Country (C): US
🔹 State (S): California
🔹 Locality (L): San Jose
🔹 Issuer: DigiCert Inc
🔹 Certificate Type: Extended Validation (EV) SSL

💡 How to Identify a Business-Level SSL Certificate:

1. Check the Certificate Details:

   • Click the padlock icon in the browser’s address bar.

   • View "Certificate (Valid)" → "Details".

   • Look for the Organization (O) field—it should contain a real business name.

2. Extended Validation (EV) SSL Indicators:

   • Some browsers (e.g., older versions of Safari) highlight the company name in the address bar.

   • Issued by trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs) like DigiCert, GlobalSign, Sectigo, Entrust.

3. Compare with Basic SSL (DV SSL):

   • If the Organization field is missing (like in your cmcglbmtk.com example), it's likely a Domain Validation (DV) SSL—which anyone can obtain, even scammers.

Why It Matters:

🔹 Legitimate businesses use OV or EV SSL to prove their authenticity.
🔹 Scam websites usually use basic DV SSL (like Let's Encrypt or Google Trust Services) because it requires no verification.

⚠️ If a website lacks an Organization-validated SSL, it’s a red flag—especially for financial transactions! 🚨
