PCI DSS Compliant credit card processing

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a proprietary information security standard for organizations that handle cardholder information for the major debit, credit, prepaid, e-purse, ATM, and POS cards.

If you are taking payment card details from customers over the telephone, you need to comply with PCI DSS guidelines.

Intelligent Telecoms Routing credit card processing solution provides organisations with an easy to deploy, fully PCI DSS compliant way to take payment card details from customers, leveraging the Intelligent Telecoms Routing cloud platform and without the need to make changes to existing systems and processes.

The system features separate entry of each secure element by the customer using the telephone keypad, with the operator introducing each element. This allows the operator to coach the customer through the process whilst secure data is neither call-recorded nor revealed to the operator.

The operator can trigger entry and processing of credit card data at any point during the call whilst logged on.

Sensitive credit card data is not stored after the transaction has been completed, thus making the offering fully PCI compliant

The ITR PCI solution prevents unauthorised access by contact centre staff to sensitive card data. This removes the need to operate a ‘clean room’ policy where paper, pens and mobile phones are prohibited from the agent’s desk.

What is unique about The Intelligent Telecoms Routing solution is that while sensitive information is masked from the agent, the conversation between agent and customer is able to continue, ensuring that both control and the customer experience is retained during the payment process.
