When customer support staff handle payment information in your call center environment, your business is exposed to considerable risk and your PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) scope is unnecessarily vast. Even if you deploy an Interactive Voice Response system (IVR), sensitive payment data still enters your system, creating a significant PCI DSS compliance burden.
CyberSource Secure Acceptance IVR/Call Center uses customizable software and a robust, PCI DSS compliant hosting environment integrated with the CyberSource payments infrastructure, providing you a safe payment transaction platform outside your system. CyberSource accepts payment information from your customers, transmits that data to a secure data center for storage, and returns a token to your order management system for your records. Since neither your staff nor systems are ever in contact with payment data, you reduce both your security threat and your PCI DSS scope.
