3. SSL Certificate Specifications:
   • Type of SSL Certificate: Depending on the level of security required, the requestor must specify whether a Single Domain SSL, Wildcard SSL, or Multi-Domain SSL certificate is needed.
   • Encryption Strength: Typically, SSL certificates offer encryption strength of 128-bit or 256-bit. The required strength needs to be selected based on the security needs of the platform.
   • Extended Validation (EV) Option: For higher levels of trust and validation, the requestor can specify if an EV SSL certificate is needed.
   • Wildcard Certificate: This should be requested if securing multiple subdomains under a single domain is necessary.
4. Purpose of SSL:
   The form should specify the reason for needing the SSL certificate, which could include protecting user data (e.g., customer logins, payment information), ensuring secure transactions, or improving search engine rankings.
5. Special Requirements:
   If there are any unique technical or operational requirements (such as compatibility with specific software, integration with existing tools, or custom configurations), these should be clearly outlined.
6. Approval and Signatures:
   • Signature of the requesting employee
   • Signature of the department head or manager
   • IT or security team approval

Process Flow:

1. Form Submission: The employee completes and submits the form to the IT or security department for review.
2. Review and Approval: The IT department reviews the request to ensure it meets SayPro’s security standards and requirements.
