Central to Cell-Life's product and service offering are web applications and related services. Cell-Life develops ICT-based systems to support the monitoring and management challenges of HIV treatment in the public health sector. Using a client-server model that relies on web applications and services, understandably, online security is a major concern to Cell-Life. Cell-Life therefore contacted the leading company in such online security products, Thawte.

In late 2004, Thawte agreed to the sponsorship and support of a high-end SGC (Premium Server Gated Super SSL Certificate) for Cell-Life's servers. In addition, Thawte responded to Cell-Life's request by putting forward this offer for a 2 year period. This type of social responsiveness from business is a reflection and great example of the need for collaborative input (of all kinds) and responsibility in order to tackle the challenges of HIV/Aids treatment in South Africa.

Now, in 2006, Thawte have once again agreed to continue their support of much needed online security of Cell-Life servers to the end of 2007. Cell-Life is grateful and appreciative to Thawte for this support and commitment, and we look forward to building our relationship, and working together to provide the best possible service delivery to our clients.

Our SSL and code signing digital certificates are used globally to secure servers, provide data encryption, authenticate users, protect privacy and assure online identifies through stringent authentication and verification processes.
