Exchange of confidential information in chat or ticket

How to securely exchange confidential information in a chat session or an email/ticket?

At LiveHelpNow, we don't only know how to spell security  We’re big believers in it. In the past, our chat sessions and emails have always been great for holding secure online conversations with prospects and clients. Unfortunately, there was no simple way to securely share confidential information.

But, that was then – and this is now. Our new, unique feature, "Secure Forms" enables you to create a form to collect confidential information from customers via live chat, SMS, or email ticket. You can securely receive loan applications, credit card information and more from customers right within your chat session or ticket reply. The best part is that it's all PCI/HIPAA compliant!

LiveHelpNow is the only help desk system available on the market today that enables enterprises to securely collect PCI and HIPAA information from customers via live chat or email.
