Abstract

Methods, apparatus, scripts, and computer readable media for facilitating secure capture of sensitive data during a voice-based transaction with a caller conducted over a telecommunications network. In an illustrative embodiment, the method comprises executing a script controlling a flow for the voice-based transaction, during which transaction at least one of sensitive and non-sensitive data may be obtained. The caller is transferred to an automated system in real time in response to the script to capture sensitive data from the caller and to store the sensitive data in a transaction record. The caller is transferred to a live operator in real time in response to the script to capture non-sensitive data from the caller and to store the non-sensitive data in the transaction record. Apparatus, scripts, and computer readable media for realizing the above method and other embodiments of the same are also provided.
