We help clients maintain CPNI compliance and offer compliant employee training programs

Customer proprietary network information (CPNI) is the data collected by telecommunications companies about a consumer's telephone calls. It includes the time, date, duration and destination number of each call, the type of network a consumer subscribes to, and any other information that appears on the consumer's telephone bill.

Each year, telecommunications companies need to file with the FCC to certify that staff has completed CPNI training.

The FCC requires employees of telecom providers to be trained so they understand what they can and cannot say during the course of in-person or telephone conversations, how to manage personal data, and how to get consent or log opt-out/opt-in conversations.

Failure to comply with the FCC’s CPNI requirements could results in disciplinary action, fines, and penalties.
