How secure is my e-commerce store for customer data?

Security is paramount and built-in at every level. Security measures include: SSL/HTTPS encryption (all data transmitted securely), PCI compliance (payment card industry standards), secure payment processing (Stripe/Square handle card data, not stored on your server), fraud detection (unusual orders flagged), DDoS protection (protects against attacks), regular security updates (software always current), backup systems (daily backups, 30-day retention), and two-factor authentication (admin access protection). PCI compliance is complex; we achieve it through: never storing card details (tokenization via payment gateway), secure checkout process, encrypted connections, and regular security scans. Customer data protection includes: encrypted database storage, access controls (staff see only necessary info), and GDPR/privacy compliance (Australian Privacy Principles). We take security seriously because breaches devastate businesses: direct costs, reputation damage, legal liability, and customer trust loss. Customers trust sites displaying security badges, SSL padlock, and trusted payment logos.
