Consider your PCI compliance covered.

To keep your customers’ data safe from hackers, credit and debit card issuers require UK businesses to follow a series of security guidelines called PCI compliance. Square products are compliant so you don’t have to pay extra for your data security.

  • No stress of maintaining and updating your compliance each year.
  • No expensive audits, assessments or non-compliance fees.

Data encryption and monitoring that runs 24/7.

Your data – and your customers’ data – is safeguarded from the start. Payments are encrypted with proprietary software, which ensures unencrypted payment data never touches your device or application.

  • In-house teams constantly monitor our server security.
  • All security tools are designed and maintained by Square, so you don’t need to work with anyone else.

Hardware and software you can rely on.

We dedicate teams to implement security best practices at each step of the product journey, from software and hardware development, to the factory supply chain, to ongoing server operations and maintenance.

  • Payments are secure out of the box with no lengthy setup.
  • Set up your Square Online site and take payments knowing you’re in good hands

Robust account protection.

We have many layers of defense designed to keep hackers out of our systems. But they can get hold of your password or email address if they’ve been compromised somewhere else online. You can use our tools to enhance your security. We’ll monitor your login activity so we can block suspicious logins.

  • Set up 2-step verification to add a layer of security to your account.
  • Control who has access to your account through employee permissions.
  • Get feedback from Square if your password isn’t strong enough.
