The reality for most contact centres

Avoid up to £100,000 a month in PCI non-compliance costs.

Non-compliance with PCI DSS doesn’t trigger a single fine. It triggers escalating monthly penalties that compound the longer the problem goes unfixed, starting at £5,000–£10,000 per month, rising to £25,000–£50,000 by month four, and reaching up to £100,000 per month after six months.

The cost of scope

Every system that touches card data is a PCI DSS obligation. Most contact centres have far more in scope than they should, and pay audit fees accordingly

The audit drain

Annual assessments, quarterly scans, remediation cycles. Months of preparation for something that shouldn’t take weeks

The agent exposure

Agents who hear or see card data are part of your compliance scope. That scope only ever gets bigger, until you remove the data entirely
