BigScoots Achieves Prestigious Secure Hosting Alliance (SHA) Trust Seal Certification

BigScoots has earned the Secure Hosting Alliance’s (SHA) Trust Seal Certification, validating a commitment to security, reliability, and customer protection.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BigScoots, a leading provider of high-performance Managed Hosting Services, today announced it has been certified by the Secure Hosting Alliance (SHA) and earned the exclusive SHA Trust Seal. This certification places BigScoots among the initial group of hosting providers committed to establishing and upholding the highest industry standards for security, accountability, and operational excellence.

Overview of the Secure Hosting Alliance Trust Seal Program

The Secure Hosting Alliance (SHA) is an industry-led working group founded under the umbrella of the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2 Coalition). Serving as the voice of the Internet’s builders, including web hosting companies, data centers, and cloud providers, the i2 Coalition launched the SHA to proactively address challenges like abuse mitigation, security, and the threat of crippling legislation that often stems from the actions of a few bad actors.

The SHA’s power to drive this initiative comes from its establishment of rigorous, voluntary industry standards for ethical practices, security, and transparency. By providing the Trust Seal certification to members like BigScoots who adhere to these high benchmarks, the SHA creates a market differentiator, strengthening trust and demonstrating the web hosting industry’s capacity for effective self-regulation and accountability.

How Hosting Providers are Evaluated: The Four Pillars of Certification

The SHA certification process involves a comprehensive, independent verification that a provider’s security protocols, infrastructure resilience, and customer protection measures meet these elevated standards. This evaluation is built upon four fundamental pillars:

1.) Transparency: Requiring clear, publicly available policies, including Acceptable Use and infrastructure misuse protocols.
2.) Infrastructure Misuse Protocols: Mandating defined contact mechanisms and responsive, prioritized procedures for handling security threats and misuse reports to protect all network users.
3.) Network Resource Reliability: Verifying proactive monitoring, capacity-aligned service levels, and documented service recovery planning to ensure maximum uptime and performance.
4.) Government Request Handling: Documenting legally compliant procedures for law enforcement requests that respect due process and protect user rights.

“Achieving the SHA Trust Seal is not just an award, it’s a public commitment that validates the secure and reliable foundation we built BigScoots on,” said James Webb, COO of BigScoots. “In an age where data security and trust are paramount, this certification provides our Managed Hosting clients with verified, third-party assurance that their critical infrastructure is in the safest, most accountable hands in the industry. It’s a game-changer for businesses seeking true peace of mind.”
