CX compliance consulting addresses the regulatory requirements that govern customer communications — TCPA, GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and industry-specific regulations — ensuring your contact center operations are protected against regulatory exposure while maintaining the operational efficiency your business requires.
Compliance failures in contact center operations carry significant financial and reputational consequences — TCPA class actions, PCI breach fines, HIPAA violations, and GDPR penalties have cost organizations hundreds of millions of dollars. RLM advises on the compliance architecture, technology controls, and operational procedures that protect against regulatory exposure across the regulatory landscape that contact centers must navigate.
A structured advisory process — from discovery and market evaluation to vendor selection and post-deployment optimization — tailored to your specific environment and objectives.
We assess your contact center's compliance posture — documenting the regulations applicable to your operations, the controls currently in place, and the gaps that represent material compliance risk.
We design the TCPA compliance framework for your outbound operations — consent management, DNC list integration, cell phone scrubbing, abandonment rate controls, and the audit trail that demonstrates compliance in litigation.
We design the PCI DSS compliance architecture for contact centers handling payment card data — pause-and-resume recording, de-scoping strategies, tokenization, and the agent desktop design that prevents cardholder data from being seen or heard by agents.
We design the privacy compliance framework for contact centers handling protected health information — data handling standards, minimum necessary access controls, audit logging, and the business associate agreement requirements for technology vendors.
These are the dimensions that consistently separate successful CX deployments from costly ones — and the questions RLM will help you answer before any commitment.
Contact centers often underestimate their regulatory scope. TCPA applies to any autodialed call to a cell phone; HIPAA applies to any healthcare-adjacent organization; state privacy laws (CCPA, CPRA) apply to California residents regardless of where your contact center is located. Evaluate scope comprehensively.
TCPA consent requirements have evolved through litigation and FCC rulemaking. Evaluate consent management against current legal standards — including the one-to-one consent requirements from recent FCC orders.
PCI compliance cost scales with the systems and processes in scope. Evaluate de-scoping strategies — IVA payment collection that keeps cardholder data off the contact center platform entirely — before designing compensating controls for in-scope environments.
CCPA/CPRA in California has been followed by similar laws in multiple states. Evaluate your compliance approach for state privacy law proliferation — consumer rights response processes, data inventory requirements, and opt-out mechanisms.
Manual compliance monitoring through random sampling misses violations. Evaluate automated compliance detection — TCPA abandonment rate monitoring, PCI recording pause verification, phrase detection for required disclosures — that provides continuous compliance assurance.
