Technical Integration
DTMF Suppression technology utilizes advanced audio processing algorithms to detect and mask keypad tones in real-time during phone conversations. The system integrates with leading contact center solutions including Avaya, Cisco Webex, Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect, and Five9 through certified APIs and webhooks. The platform supports ISO 20022 payment messaging standards, maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, and provides real-time tokenization with 256-bit AES encryption for all cardholder data transmission.
Implementation Process
DTMF Suppression deployment follows a structured 3-phase approach: Phase 1 (Week 1-2) includes technical integration and audio processing configuration; Phase 2 (Week 3-4) covers agent training and workflow optimization; Phase 3 (Week 5-6) involves compliance validation and go-live support. Our certified implementation team ensures seamless integration with existing CRM systems, reporting platforms, and contact center infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DTMF suppression in phone payment processing?
DTMF suppression is a security technology that masks dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) keypad tones during phone payment processing, preventing agents from hearing sensitive card data while maintaining natural customer service interactions. This ensures PCI DSS compliance by eliminating agent exposure to cardholder data.
How does DTMF suppression ensure PCI compliance?
DTMF suppression ensures PCI compliance by preventing agents from hearing or processing sensitive cardholder data during phone transactions. By masking keypad tones in real-time, the technology eliminates agent exposure to card data, reducing PCI compliance scope by up to 80% and enabling Level 1 PCI DSS compliance without complex security infrastructure.
Can agents still help customers with payments using DTMF suppression?
Yes, agents can fully assist customers with payment processes while DTMF suppression is active. The technology only masks the audio tones of keypad entries, allowing agents to guide customers through payment steps, answer questions, and provide support without compromising security or customer experience.
What contact center platforms support DTMF suppression?
DTMF suppression integrates with all major contact center platforms including Avaya, Cisco Webex, Genesys Cloud, Amazon Connect, Five9, and Microsoft Teams. The technology works through certified APIs and webhooks, ensuring seamless integration with existing telephony infrastructure and CRM systems.
How much does DTMF suppression cost compared to traditional PCI compliance?
Traditional PCI compliance for contact centers costs $50,000-$500,000 annually including security infrastructure, audits, staff training, and ongoing monitoring. DTMF suppression reduces these costs by 75-80% by eliminating the need for complex security controls, reducing audit scope, and providing automated compliance maintenance.
