Security

Sheepdog Publishing of Solano is a Squarespace website and is automatically protected with free SSL certificates to improve security. SSL secures connections and prevents hackers from impersonating us or stealing our visitors' information.

Secure means:

  • Our visitors are always redirected to HTTPS after the certificate is issued, even if you should enter HTTP in your browser.

  • Sitemaps include HTTPS links.

  • Search engines index the HTTPS version.

  • Our site won't load in browsers that don't support SSL.

Checkout is provided through Stripe:

  1. Stripe is PCI Compliant

  2. PCI-DSS compliance is a security standard for companies and organizations that handle payment information from consumers.

  3. PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a framework for developing a robust payment card data security process—including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents. To learn more, visit the PCI Council’s website.
