Knowing Your Server’s Limits

The server offers secure connections between itself and the client. It can not control the security of information once information is transferred to the client has it, nor can it control access to itself and its directories and files.

For example, you might acquire credit card numbers over an SSL connection, but are those numbers stored in a secure file on the server machine? What happens to those numbers after the SSL connection is terminated? You should be responsible for securing any information clients send to you through SSL.
