Unlocking the Future of Compliance: Why Voice Technology is the Next Governance Frontier
The field of Digital Communications Governance and Archiving (DCGA) is rapidly transforming, as highlighted in the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant. This evolution is driven by increasing regulatory pressures, the complexities of multi-channel communication, and the growing need for compliance oversight. Among these challenges, the governance of voice records is a crucial yet often neglected area.
Challenges in Managing Voice Data
While many DCGA solutions primarily target digital communications like emails and chats, managing voice data presents distinct challenges. This type of data often requires:
- Extended retention periods
- Accurate capture
- Effective transcription and analysis
These elements are vital for compliance with stringent regulations such as MiFID II, DORA, and SEC regulations, making proper voice data governance a key component of modern compliance strategies.
