Website
To authenticate NISA’s website, check the URL address to ensure it correctly identifies NISA as https://www.nisa.com. The letters “https” will be displayed in front of the website address in the browser’s navigation bar. In most browsers one can click on the padlock or other symbol appearing to the left of the URL address to reveal NISA’s registration certificate.
To validate a link to NISA’s website, hover over the link to reveal the website’s URL before clicking. Any URL variation that does not begin with nisa.com may be fake. Cloned websites under a similar URL are becoming increasingly common. These websites typically include detailed company information to convince unsuspecting consumers that they are genuine. Fraudulent activity may also include authentic website links to gain trust, so confirm the communication is appropriate and expected.
NISA proactively monitors websites that register and use similar URL addresses to nisa.com. If suspicious or fraudulent activity is suspected, NISA takes appropriate steps to remove potentially malicious websites.
