    "Not Secure" you getting means, your websites is served by HTTP protocol (port 80) which uses a non encrypted communication.
    To make it "Secure" from Browser perspective, you have to switch to HTTPS protocol (port 443), to do that you will need a Certificate tied to your DNS host name.
    You can have get a free Certificate from LetsEncrypt, read documentation and choose an "ACME Client" for IIS.
    ACME Client will take care of request certificate, register it on IIS and renew such certificate.
