SecurityMetrics Wins Silver Stevie® Award for 2018 "Contact Center of the Year," Helps Businesses Secure Credit Card Data

LAS VEGAS, March 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SecurityMetrics, a global leader in data security and PCI compliance, was presented with a Silver Stevie® Award in the "Contact Center of the Year" category at the 12th annual Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service.

The awards were presented to honorees during a gala banquet on Friday, February 23 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, NV. More than 600 executives from the U.S.A. and several other nations attended.

Winners were determined by the average scores of more than 150 professionals worldwide in seven specialized judging committees. SecurityMetrics' submission, entitled "Dedication to Quality Assurance and Data Accuracy," highlighted the organization's contact center's diligent efforts to "refine their processes, build strong teams, and implement rigorous quality assurance."

As a result of the contact center's efforts:

    --  SecurityMetrics earned a positive net promoter score (NPS) of 12.
        Forty-three percent of customers are considered "promoters" of
        SecurityMetrics--meaning they responded with either a 9 or 10 (out of
        10) on a "How likely is it that you would recommend this company to a
        friend or colleague?" survey.
    --  The contact center sees valid call escalations (transferred to a
        supervisor) at a rate of only 0.0037% of total calls. (Data collected
        between July 1, 2016 and November 11, 2017.)

The contact center of about 200 employees fields over 135,000 calls per month, provides 24/7/365 support, and its agents are resolute to continue branding SecurityMetrics as the most customer-friendly call center.

"Our employees work hard to simplify PCI compliance so that any business can achieve compliance and understand how important data security is," said Brad Caldwell, CEO of SecurityMetrics. "If we can make difficult processes easy for any business owner then we have achieved our goal of helping to secure businesses worldwide."

"All of our Stevie Award winners should be proud of their achievements. Independent professionals around the world have agreed that their accomplishments are worthy of our public recognition," said Stevie Awards president Michael Gallagher.
