Secure way to implement social security number

In my app I will need to collect the social security number of the user during registration, sort of like uber. This is strictly as a security measure. I understand that simply keeping the user's social security number as a child of a Firebase database is no way legal as I would have access to it at all times. Is there a way to implement a secure way of storing social security numbers for my app? Is there a way one could outsource the storage but import a package that has the social security number form? I seem to be getting a lot of questions about why I would need this information. Essentially it would be to run a background check on the user if needed.

You may consider other answers on the network.\n\nHowever, you may also look into whether you need to store the SSN. If you only need to the Social Security Number as a \"safety measure,\" then you could feasibly verify the user and leave it at that - not burdening yourself with having to securely store SSNs; you are responsible for keeping that secure.",
