Regulations That Matter Most

TCPA/TSR

Telephone Consumer Protection Act / Telemarketing Sales Rule governs how and when you can contact consumers.

STIR/SHAKEN

Provider certifications and call authentication — aim for A attestation.

State Call-Recording Consent

One-party vs all-party; tailor disclosures per jurisdiction.

FDCPA/Reg F (Collections)

Cadence presumptions (e.g., 7 in 7); "limited-content" voicemail rules.

GLBA Safeguards

Security program, vendor oversight, 30-day incident notice (500+ consumers).

UDAAP

Unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.

Reg E/EFTA

Electronic Fund Transfer Act requirements.

PCI DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for card payments.

GDPR/UK GDPR/PECR and EU AI Act

European data protection and AI-specific regulation for firms with EU exposure.

Core Architecture

Orchestration

A session manager handling barge-in, timeouts, retries, escalation to human agents, and consent capture.

NLP/LLM Core

Streaming ASR, NLU, and a policy-steered LLM (often with RAG) so answers only draw from approved content.

Policy Layer

Guardrails that enforce disclosures, call cadence, payment steps, and quiet zones. A reasoning and policy layer evaluates against SOPs and regulations (TCPA, UDAAP, Reg F, HUD/Fannie/Freddie) before answering or taking an action.

Data Layer

PII redaction, tokenization, data minimization, and encryption in transit/at rest. Tokenized handoff to a secure payment page/IVR, or browser agents that fill forms while keeping card data out of the LLM perimeter.

Evidence Mode

Auto-generates artifacts for regulators and internal audit — on demand. Exports include:

• Policies, prompts, and model cards
• Training sources and change logs
• Attestation proofs and consent traces
• Disclosure audio and transcripts with redaction logs
• Cadence reports and payment evidence

Reduces evidence prep from weeks to hours.

Security and Compliance Posture

• SOC 2 Type II program
• Models trained on UDAAP, FCRA, TILA, HMDA themes and enforcement actions
• Private VPC with PII redaction, access controls, and 100% auditability
• Tenant isolation, encryption, and strict retention
