DigiCert Mark Certificates
Protect your brand and prevent domain impersonation attacks with a DigiCert VMC or Common Mark Certificate.
DigiCert Mark Certificates
DigiCert Mark Certificates boost the reputation, engagement and trust of your emails by displaying your logo alongside every authenticated message.
Combined with email authentication standards (BIMI, DMARC), DigiCert Mark Certificates give recipients an instant visual cue that your email is authentic. Choose a Common Mark Certificate (CMC) for trademarks protected by prior use, or a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) for registered trademarks and government seals. VMCs enable a blue “authenticated” checkmark in Gmail.

Features
Fight phishing
Mark certificates allow you to display your verified logo in the user’s inbox to visually identify your communications as authentic—and help recipients quickly identify fraudulent or malicious phishing attempts.
Improve email security
Because mark certificates require you to verify that you use strong email authentication standards, your organization also benefits from increased security, visibility and deliverability.
Stand out from the crowd
A mark certificate allows you to extend your organization’s visual brand to email—one of the most-used and competitive digital locations. Increase reach and recognition, while associating your organization with stronger email security and validation.
