New Security Certifications Bolster Invoca’s Data Protection Commitment

Invoca recently achieved four formal recognitions awarded by independent organisations that confirm the company’s adherence to stringent security standards and best practices:

  • ISO 27001:2022: An international standard for information security management systems (ISMS), this certification demonstrates that Invoca has implemented a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
  • Financial Supplier Qualification System Level 2 (FSQS): FSQS is a compliance and accreditation standard designed to help organisations manage supplier risk, regulatory compliance, and performance, and is primarily used in the UK financial services sector. This new Invoca certification is essential for suppliers working with banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions.
  • PCI-DSS 4.0 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard): Relevant to companies handling credit card transactions, PCI-DSS ensures the protection of cardholder data and payment information. Previously certified for PCI-DSS 3.2.1, Invoca now has PCI-DSS 4 certification to reflect support for updated standards for authentication, encryption, and risk management.
  • SOC 2 Type 2 (American Institute of CPAs): This renewal certification focuses on controls related to the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of Invoca’s systems.

Companies operating in heavily regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services and insurance face heightened pressure to comply with regulations and protect customer data. Invoca plays a critical role in helping marketing, sales and contact centres drive conversions and revenue growth by providing privacy-safe, first-party data from both the consumer’s digital interactions and phone conversations with businesses, and these certifications are further proof of the safety and security of that data.

Invoca was recently named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Real-Time Revenue Execution Platforms, Q2 2024 earning the highest possible score across 19 criteria, including its commitment to privacy as superior relative to others in the evaluation.
