Meet your obligations

Regulations concerning sensitive customer communications are stricter than ever, and non-compliance can be costly. Whether sending from a contact centre or an automated system, meeting these obligations is essential.

ICO GDPR / FCA COBS

Encrypt data

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) require businesses to encrypt sensitive data transferred digitally. The ICO can issue fines of up to £17m for non-compliance, or 4% of annual turnover.

Authenticate recipients

The FCA requires proof-of-delivery for certain types of document, such as KIDs. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) also steers businesses to use authentication and prevent unauthorised access.

Record delivery

Keeping accurate records is vital for compliance with ICO guidance. The FCA mandates that regulated businesses record all communications and retain proof-of-delivery to the right person for investment documentation.

ICO General Guidance

Revoke access

By law, a data breach must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours. As the ICO notes, the ability to revoke a sensitive email sent to the wrong person can help contain the breach before it reaches the threshold for reporting.
