PCI Pal’s Agent Assist Helps Customers Achieve PCI DSS Compliance for Telephone and Digital Payments.
PCI Pal®, the global provider of secure payment solutions, today announced that its Agent Assist solution is now compliant with key Avaya Contact Center solutions, enabling enterprises to integrate telephone payment security into their existing telephony systems to help achieve PCI DSS compliance for telephone and digital payments. Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA) is a global leader in solutions that enhance and simplify communications and collaboration.
PCI Pal’s Agent Assist uses DTMF masking technology to intercept tones and hide payment card information that customers enter at the point of payment. Sensitive card data is concealed from customer service agents while keeping the line open for agents and customers to interact. The application is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with the Avaya Aura® Experience Portal 7.2.3 using Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise 8.
“Compliance testing our Agent Assist application with Avaya Aura Experience Portal helps give customers looking to incorporate a PCI Compliant payment card security solution into their existing telephony and contact center infrastructure a number of benefits,” said Darren Gill, Chief Revenue Officer, PCI Pal. “It also helps us deliver a more enhanced service to customers utilizing Avaya’s market-leading communications solutions.”
