Best Practice Seminar, 3rd November 2011, Altrincham

Held on 3rd November our Best Practice Seminar sits alongside the annual April conference as the key meeting-point for members, providing access to hundreds of companies who are part of our membership and best practice programmes.

Best Practice Seminar Agenda - Morning
07:30	Executive Breakfast Briefing on Fraud and PCI compliance “One in ten of Glasgow’s financial call centres has been infiltrated by criminal gangs” DCI George Easton, Strathclyde Police Find out how Sky and others are de-scoping the risk of card fraud, avoiding heavy IT costs and draconian compliance regulations, such as making the centre ‘sterile’ – no pens, paper, mobiles or memory sticks. With the prospect of heavy fines and evidence that call centres are being targeted as the weak point in an organisation, protection of card data is fast becoming a must-tackle issue. Organised in partnership with Semafone, this briefing will help you discover the key facts, learn what worked for Sky and gain free practical advice. See details. Breakfast from 07:30 onwards. The free briefing starts at 8am. Join the main morning workshops at 10am – or stay on for round-tables until 10.30 to take further the issues raised, with experts and peers.
