ECommerce and Security?

[kcpupco]

Hey everyone, I was working on making a square site for my small business. I wanted to know what security features are given with Square websites. I had read about Cyber Liability Insurance and the threat of hackers stealing sensitive information. I also read on squares website they encrypt personal information such as credit cards and ssn, is that for websites as well or only through their hardware? Any advice or information is greatly appreciated.

Square encrypts everything, as far as I know, your site also has SSL installed for security, this makes it harder for hackers to access based on the server port used.
