Hello we are wanting to sell products in our doctors office in a hospital. The IT Dept said we should not be using the hospital wifi because it is not TLS 1.2 and the data is vulnerable to attacks. Is there validity to this? Doesnt square encrypt before data is sent over the internet? Any white papers or technical sheets I could provide to the IT dept would make this easier.

The data is encrypted before even leaving the card reader.

I don't know if there are specific pages about it. @Tom ?

Hey @wiegandn - You and @VanKalkerFarms are correct. The data is encrypted as soon as the card is swiped, dipped, or tapped before the information is sent from the reader to your device. You can find more in-depth information about how we protect both Seller and your customer information at Secure Data Encryption.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Selling in a hospital, does their WiFi not being TLS 1.2 have any effect on my customers security?
