Sensitive Data Types

The following table provides a helpful, quick-reference guide for which data types to mark as private, but any questions should be directed to your security auditor.

PCI-DSS Requirements

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.

  • Full Track Data (This is data from the magnetic stripe or chip on the card.)

  • CAV2/CVC/CVV2/CID

  • Pin/Pin Block Number

  • Primary Account Number (i.e., credit card number)

  • Cardholder Name

  • Service Code

  • Expiration Date

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

Additionally, although legal and regulatory requirements differ by state and industry, we recommend handling the following data types with additional security:

  • Social Security Number

  • Date of Birth

  • Bank Account Number

  • Personal Health Information
