SSL

  • I have a site with an application form – the form uses a google form with an iframe. Sensitive information goes into that form. Do I need an SSL for that page? (it’s an iframe, so is the info really going into my site)

    Thank you!

  • Needing an SSL will depend on exactly what information is being entered. if it’s something like credit card details, then the ansewr is yes but you’ll also need a lot more then just SSL to keep the banks happy. If it’s something like a SSN or data that can personally identify a user, then i’d say yes you should.

    Having it as an iframe does help this to a point. While the information will be secure, the actual parent page isn’t and won’t show any sort of SSL notification (like the padlock) to users so as far as they know the page is 100% unsecured.

    thank you for responding.

    what else besides SSL will I need? Why is SSL not enough?

    I’m not clear – you seem to be saying that if it’s in an iframe, then it’s secure, so why do I need the SSL? (asside from reassuring applicants)

    As I said, it depends on what data you’re collecting and what you’re doing with it.
