Non-compliance with PCI DSS regulations could result in hefty fines for merchants

In order to secure the personal details of end-users to keep fraud at bay, Payment Card Industry regulation forbids merchants from storing payment related phone-calls containing customer card details. These “toxic legacy call recordings”, have been discovered in the billions, and disobedient UK merchants may have to cough up, up to half a million pounds each to pay for a breach of this kind.
The Risk
Unless merchants are PCI certified, with the appropriate security facilities systematically in place (which most merchants are not), fraud can easily take place by using speech Analytics Analytics Analytics may be defined as the detection, analysis, and relay of consequential patterns in data.

In the trading space, analytics are applied in a predictive manner in an attempt to more accurately forecast the price. This predictive model of analytics generally involves the analysis of historical price patterns that are used in an attempt to determine certain price outcomes.

The Reason
PCI regulation is bumping heads with FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) requirements, which expects calls to be recorded for damage control and regulation. But, unless there is a legitimate reason to hold onto the data, or the merchant is in-fact PCI certified and thus equipped to provide the necessary security for this procedure, it is deemed unsafe and the penalty is severe.
The Reality
Even though, with new adaptive technology in telephone recording, many merchants are no longer, illegally storing the data, an estimated billion call recordings with “toxic legacy data” exists from past recording and are vulnerable in the hands of UK merchants.
