Independently checked. Digitally verifiable.

What the heck is a QWAC?

Think of it as a verified business ID for your website.

A Qualified Website Authentication Certificate connects your website to a real organization. A qualified trust service provider checks who you are, then issues a certificate that browsers (including "headless" ones used by AI agents) can verify.

The SSL lock tells a visitor or agent that the connection is secure. A basic SSL certificate does not identify the business that owns the website. A QWAC fills that gap with verified organization identity.

Meet your website’s business ID

Make the source behind
the answer verifiable.

Build on useful content with evidence of who published it.

Put an identity behind your expertise

Connect your website to an independently checked business identity. Give people and AI agents more than a name in a footer.

Prepare for an AI-driven web

Make your organization’s identity machine-verifiable, so AI agents have identity evidence to check the source behind an answer.

Strengthen your SEO foundations

Complement accurate organization data and technical SEO with signed evidence of who operates your website.

What agents see.

A real business behind the website.

A QWAC gives browser-based agents verified organization details: your legal business name, location, and the authority that checked them.

The same identity evidence is visible to people in their browser’s certificate details.

Secure is a start.
Qualified identity goes further.

From an encrypted connection to a verified business. QWAC is the gold standard for website identity.

No business identity

SSL only

Encrypts the connection and confirms control of the domain. The business behind it remains unidentified.

Good

OV

Organization Validation adds a checked business name to your SSL certificate.

Better

EV

Extended Validation adds more extensive checks of the organization, its legal existence, and the applicant’s authority.

Best for qualified identity

QWAC

Identity proof from a government-supervised qualified trust service provider, recognized through the EU’s trusted lists.

Compare SSL, OV, EV, and QWAC

Two ways to add trusted identity.

Keep your existing SSL certificate, or combine secure connections and qualified identity in one.

Deploy a QWAC alongside your existing SSL certificate

Keep the HTTPS setup that already works. Your QWAC provides organization identity separately, so routine SSL renewals do not mean starting identity issuance over.

Keep your SSL automation. Preserve your verified organization identity through routine certificate renewals, and carry it with you when your hosting changes.
