TPV Services

Third-Party Verification (TPV) is an independent, neutral process that confirms a customer's authorization for a service change or enrollment. It protects both consumers and businesses by preventing slamming (unauthorized switches) and fraud. TPV creates an auditable record that satisfies regulatory requirements from the FCC, state utility commissions, and industry bodies.

Yes, extensively. Our compliance team works with your legal and marketing departments to develop fully customized verification scripts that reflect your brand tone while meeting all regulatory disclosure requirements. Scripts can be tailored for different products, customer segments, and state-specific regulations.

Absolutely. Cerrium's TPV operations are designed to exceed FCC Part 64, TCPA, and all 50 state utility commission regulations. Our processes include mandatory disclosure statements, clear consent language, and robust audit trails. We stay current with regulatory changes and proactively update our protocols to ensure continuous compliance.

Yes, we offer a flexible suite of verification methods: Live Agent TPV for high-touch customer experiences, Automated IVR for cost-effective high-volume verifications, and Hybrid models that route complex cases to agents. All options include the same compliance safeguards and recording quality.

Our standard retention period is 3 years, which meets or exceeds most regulatory requirements. However, we offer flexible retention policies—extending to 5 or 7 years for highly regulated industries, or implementing custom archival procedures. All recordings are encrypted and access-controlled throughout their lifecycle.

Yes. Through our secure Client Portal, authorized users can instantly access verification recordings, transcripts, and detailed analytics. The portal features advanced search, filtering by date/campaign/agent, and one-click export capabilities. API access is also available for integration with your internal systems.

Security & Compliance

We implement military-grade encryption at every stage: AES-256 for data at rest, TLS 1.3 for data in transit, and end-to-end encryption for sensitive communications. Access is controlled via multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. All systems undergo continuous security monitoring and automated threat detection.

Yes. Cerrium maintains current SOC 2 Type II attestation covering Security, Availability, and Confidentiality trust principles. For healthcare clients, we are fully HIPAA compliant with executed BAAs, encrypted PHI handling, and audit-ready documentation. Compliance reports are available to qualified clients under NDA.

Security testing is continuous at Cerrium. We perform quarterly internal vulnerability scans, annual external penetration tests by accredited third-party firms, and bug bounty programs for our public-facing applications. All findings are tracked through remediation with executive-level oversight.

Our DR/BCP framework ensures 99.99% uptime with multi-region active-active architecture. We maintain RPO of <15 minutes and RTO of <30 minutes for critical systems. Regular failover tests are conducted quarterly, and all procedures are documented and reviewed annually with your technical stakeholders.

Our 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) uses AI-driven SIEM platforms, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence feeds to detect anomalies. Alerts trigger automated containment protocols and immediate escalation to our incident response team. Clients receive real-time notifications for any security events affecting their environment.

Yes, we specialize in audit readiness and compliance support. Our team can help you prepare for PCI DSS, ISO 27001, HITRUST, or custom framework audits by providing documentation, control evidence, gap assessments, and remediation guidance. Many clients leverage our infrastructure to simplify their own compliance efforts.
