The security alert received is when people outside the company are trying to
access information from the company servers.

The alert says: Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or
changed by others. Howerver, there is a problem with the site's security
certificate.

The security certificate was issued by a company you have chosen not to
trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the
certifying authority.

The security certificate date is valid.

The security certificate has a valid name matching the name of the page you
are trying to view.

Do you wish to proceed? Options Yes, No, View Certificate.

Then new questions are: "How do I entrust it to the outside world or simply
turn it off so this isn't a constant nag?"
