Achieve Regulatory Compliance With Call Recording and Monitoring Technology
Every industry can benefit from call recording and monitoring. Many industries have legal requirements—such as Sarbanes-Oxley for publicly traded companies in the United States, or FSA regulations for financial institutions in the United Kingdom. Call recording and monitoring is an easy, affordable way to demonstrate a pattern of compliance and to improve customer interactions, regardless of your industry.
Below are examples of how call recording can help meet specific industry regulations, including financial services, healthcare, and energy.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS)
Organizations that accept major credit, debit, ATM, and point-of-sale cards are regulated by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Designed to help reduce credit card fraud and increase controls around cardholder data, companies handling sensitive information must demonstrate that they have secured the information by building a secure information network, maintain information security policies, and implement strong access control measures. CallRex Call Recording software includes features that enable companies to secure call recording files and meet related PCI standards.
Financial Services Regulations
CallRex ensures compliance with multiple privacy regulations governing financial services companies—from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act to regulations from the Financial Services Authority (FSA), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), and even the USA Patriot Act.
Financial Services Authority (FSA)
In the United Kingdom, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) published new rules requiring financial firms to record telephone conversations and other electronic communications in the UK. Beginning in March 2009, firms will be required to record telephone conversations and electronic communications relating to client orders, and equity, bond, and derivatives market transactions. All recordings must be retained by the firms for a minimum of six months.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, USA Patriot Act
CallRex helps companies comply with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the USA Patriot Act, Section 326, which requires companies to maintain records of how they verified customer identities and tracked customer transactions. Many of these regulations require that sensitive information is secure and confidential. Using call recording software, managers can insure that agents are following verification procedures.
Accounts Recovery Corporation (ARC), a Telrex customer, gained a competitive advantage, realized a cost savings in storage costs, and secured their verbal transactions with CallRex. ARC's general manager, Joe Polard, commented:
"CallRex enables us to ensure that verbal communications with clients and customers can be documented as accurately as written communications. For example, we are able to capture the verbal commitments of debtors to adhere to payment plans and we are able to instantly find and review every such record as necessary. Today, businesses are being held to a higher standard of accountability and CallRex gives us a strong measure of control that we didn't have before."
Financial services companies can implement call recording technology to confirm transaction requests and rest easy, knowing that their recordings are securely stored on their networks and searchable in the event of an audit or other issue.
HIPAA & MIPPA Compliance for Healthcare Companies
CallRex helps facilitate Healthcare Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) compliance, ensuring the privacy and security standards protecting private health information and confidential conversations. HIPAA regulations are enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services, with criminal penalties ranging from $50,000 to $250,000.
MIPPA requires health care marketers to record their conversations to prove that they are not participating in deceptive or high-pressure tactics. In addition, the September 18, 2008 update to the Medicare Marketing Guidelines state that all appointments made via telephone with current or potential Medicare enrollees must be recorded in order to document the interaction.
CallRex Call Recording software helped one regional medical office address security concerns and improve patient care through call monitoring, and increased employee productivity by using recorded calls for training and as an objective employee performance measure.
"Good Faith" Reporting and Energy Trading
CallRex addresses a variety of regulations governing energy buyers, sellers and traders. For example, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandates “good faith” reporting of trading data, such as keeping all relevant trading data for a minimum of three years. Call recordings can be used in data reporting, and for trade verifications.
