It’s live! Access exclusive 2024 live chat benchmark data & see how well your team is performing.
Get the dataWhen considering any technology investment, security and privacy are non-negotiable. No matter which digital support channels your business offers, keeping your confidential customer data safe and secure is a (if not the) top priority.
For any company, striking a balance between absolute security and compliance while providing accessible, real-time customer support isn’t always an easy feat. This is all the more difficult for industries like government, healthcare, and financial services who must follow even more stringent security requirements. For many organizations in these sectors, the cloud is simply off-limits.
If your organization faces these limitations, fear not — Comm100 can help you level up your digital customer service capabilities while meeting all your security needs. Whether you want to offer your customers real-time live chat, or the full range of digital omnichannel communication, Comm100’s platform can be self-hosted to enable the highest degree of security and compliance with flexible customization to fit your unique business requirements (not to mention our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and PCI DSS and HIPAA compliance, to name a few).
Here are just some of the benefits and capabilities of Comm100 self-hosted live chat software and omnichannel platform deployment.
By storing data on the cloud, you are entrusting a third party with a key asset of your organization – confidential records of your user base. While convenient, this option may not be ideal for highly regulated industries that have unique and stringent security requirements.
Self-hosted live chat allows organizations to keep customer data stored in their own secure environments. You have complete autonomy over the data management processes used for access of the platform and your customer data.
With Comm100, your business can deliver accessible and personalized support in the knowledge that customer data and other proprietary information never leaves your data center.
Cloud-based providers have direct control and autonomy over the security systems used to secure servers. Organizations that choose an on-premise deployment on the other hand can align Comm100’s platform with any unique, industry-specific security requirements that their organizations must comply with – enjoying the comfort of your own in-house security procedures.
Storing your data on the cloud also involves relying on the vendor for notice of scheduled maintenances and outages. Downtime affects all hosted customers, requiring companies to plan around these obstacles. By hosting Comm100 in your environment, you can control when scheduled maintenance and updates happen on your own time. And if server outage occurs for the provider, you can rest assured knowing it won’t affect you.
