Whether a Telco is selecting a switch supplier or a supplier of pre-paid scratch cards it is important to assess the appropriateness of the suppliers’ security arrangements. Where sensitive data, such as PIN files, are passed to a third party the risk of fraud and revenue loss is significant. Telcora has extensive experience of performing supplier security reviews across a range of industries. Specifically our consultants worked with the GSM Association to develop the GSM Security Accreditation Scheme and have conducted security reviews worldwide of the major SIM manufacturers on behalf of the GSM Association under the Scheme.
Telcora are also recognised world-leaders in security evaluations of scratch-card suppliers to the telecommunications industry. We have conducted security reviews of many scratch cards suppliers in Europe, The Americas, Asia and in Africa for both Telco's wishing to understand how their product and data are being protected by their supplier and also directly for the suppliers who want to improve their own security controls to meet the needs of their customers.
