Why PCI DSS compliance is essential.

Brand damage

Data breaches destroy brand reputations.

The average cost of a data breach is $4.24M, and 38% of the average cost is lost business.

Ensuring your business is PCI DSS compliant improves security, customer retention and increases trust by creating optimized experiences for both customers and CSRs.

Prevention is better than cure

Your bank or credit card acquirers can impose substantial fines and fees for not complying with PCI DSS.

Sycurio’s Voice & Digital PCI DSS descoping solutions (from SAQ-D to SAQ-A) can protect you from breaches that can result in changes to your PCI merchant level and increased audit costs.

Legal costs

PCI DSS non-compliance and data breaches lead to expensive and public legal actions that can impact your customer retention and damage your bottom line.

Protect all your channels.

Sycurio, formerly Semafone, protects your payment transactions and descopes them from PCI DSS across all your engagement channels.

Take payments over the phone or via IVR using phone keypads and voice recognition. Payment-enable instant messaging, voicebots and chatbots, your social media and commerce channels, email & SMS messages, web services and mobile apps, and even face-to-face without using POS equipment – all without bringing them into scope for PCI DSS compliance.

Chatbot

Consumer retail spend via chatbots worldwide will reach $142 billion by 2024.

Securing cards and much more.

Sycurio not only protects credit and debit cards in card-not-present (CNP) transactions.

We enable you to securely capture and process bank account information for ACH and direct debits. And… social security and passport numbers and other personally identifiable and sensitive information - making it a perfect toolset for regulatory compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, FCA and GLBA environments - removing you from the risks of holding high-value hackable data in your business.

Simplify PCI DSS & regulatory compliance.

The PCI DSS is complex, and its requirements touch many of your systems.

Sycurio simplifies PCI DSS compliance by shifting the card data capture and processing outside of your environment.

This simple but highly secure approach descopes your systems from the 400+ controls in the PCI standard and almost entirely removes your systems and network from the strict auditing and reporting requirements.

Enhance operational efficiency

Our technology can boost you agents' productivity – we enable around 95% of transactions to be completed first-time without error, freeing your people to deliver more engaging customer experiences.

Avoid costly data breaches.

A data breach reclassifies a merchant as level 1, forcing an annual external QSA audit at minimum annual cost of $40,000. This doesn’t account for the non-compliance fines, costly lawsuits, or the massive hit to your brand reputation.

Typically, businesses see a drop in their customer base with a data breach, resulting a significant loss of revenue.

Improve customer retention

59% of consumers will walk away from a business after several bad experiences with 17% walking away after just a single one, even if they do love your company or product!

Sycurio's innovative solutions provide a seamless payment experience for customers enabling them to pay in the channel of their choice, whether it be over the phone, chat, email and SMS, instant messaging, social media, or even in print or at events using QR code payment links.

32% of customers would stop doing business with a brand they loved after one bad experience.

Improve average handling time (AHT)

Sycurio powers an 8% average reduction in average handling time (AHT) in calls with payments. That’s about 24 seconds saved out of each 5-minute call – substantial efficiency gains for busy agents and contact centers.

How many more calls could each of your agent’s field per day with that extra time?

70% of consumers state that speed, convenience, helpful employees and friendly service matter most.

Enable compliance for remote workers

Nearly 50% of US employees work remotely in some capacity… and remote work isn’t going away any time soon. It’s well understood that remote employees present a greater risk to cybersecurity, as shown by the record number of cyber-attacks in 2021.

Sycurio solutions empower remote agents and field workers to easily and securely take PCI DSS compliant payments. Our amazingly easy to use technologies can enhance your data security at the edges of your network and provide the location flexibility employees have come to expect.
