Overview
Which standards and certifications apply to contact centres?
No single certification proves a contact centre is best practice. But recognised standards give you a framework to improve against, and evidence for clients, boards and regulators.
- ISO standards: such as ISO 18295 for customer contact centres, ISO 10002 for complaints handling, ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO/IEC 27001 for information security.
- Payment security: PCI DSS for taking card payments. See payments and PCI compliance.
- Industry certifications for contact centre operations, management and people.
- CX quality frameworks for assessing the service customers receive.
