    Personally, I'd set field security to private for that field, create a new field that's Text (Encrypted), then set your integration to point to the new field. Failing that, you could just copy the value directly via workflow rule. Either way, encrypted fields should be your first thought.

  1. Deny Read access to SSN Field using field level security so SSN is secure
  2. Create a formula text field Right(SSN_C,4) which should get the last 4 digits and display it in your layout.
