For PCI-compliance, the following types of data are considered sensitive and should, therefore, be treated as private in your IVR apps. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the correct information is secured in your IVR apps.

  • CAV2/CVC/CVV2/CID

  • Pin/Pin Block Number

If you have questions about PCI-compliance, please contact your PCI auditor.
