Securely exchange confidential forms—from within a chat session or via email

Boost Data Security and Success with Secure Forms

Until now, it was impossible to collect confidential or order information in a chat or email. Why? Because chat and email provide clear text communication, which is not HIPAA and PCI compliant. Fortunately, LiveHelpNow offers an innovative solution called Secure Forms.

Too often, a customer expresses interest in a service—like evaluation for home refinancing—but the exchange of confidential information becomes a stumbling block. Secure Forms solves that problem.

The Secure Forms solution

To provide or confirm services, most businesses must gather confidential information from their customers.  When information was recorded and stored on paper, the likelihood of data breach or loss was minimal.

Today, data hacks are everyday events that cost businesses of all sizes millions of dollars—sometimes driving companies out of business.  To avoid liability and prying eyes, business owners must be cautious about safely handling electronic communications involving personal or financial information.

For those in financial and other sectors, compliance drives the need for a secure online platform that supports both marketing and regulatory requirements.

Welcome to Secure Forms

Secure Forms is part of the standard LiveHelpNow tool kit and enables you to take advantage of features that include:

  • Security: Instead of insecurely sharing credit card, social security, and other highly confidential information, your clients can take advantage of a secure upload capability built right into the chat window. You can even email a link to a secure, HIPAA-compliant form directly to your customers. Plus, you can specify which departments in your company are permitted access to the uploaded forms – and for how long.
  • Speed: The longer it takes to close a transaction, the greater the likelihood it won’t close at all.  With Secure Forms, you can initiate and close secure transactions within the time and space of a single chat session.
  • Ease of use:  Receive alerts when your customer opens, completes, and submits your secure form.  Because the data is distributed through non-centralized pathways during  transit, and because the forms are quickly purged, you are assured the information you send and receive is not being viewed by others.
  • Enhanced analytics:  Secure Forms helps you categorize and collect information from your customer base.  Better data means better product solutions, services, and targeted marketing that leads to higher profits.
  • Promote your own services:  Use Secure Forms as a marketing feature to improve your customer service profile and better meet the needs of busy customers who may want to submit an application right now—not tomorrow.
