Customer Identification Data Masking

Verba provides the ability to mask customer identification data (CID) in the service logs and on the user interface. If CID masking is used, the technical staff can access the GUI and the logs without accessing sensitive information. In the case of the service log masking, it means a replacement to a hash, so the corresponding numbers still can be found without revealing the actual numbers.

The CID masking on the GUI applies to the following:

  • Everything under the Conversations menu
  • Phone service
  • Mobile interface

and doesn't apply to the following:

  • Quality Management
  • Reporting
  • System configuration and media files

Service log masking can increase the CPU load on the servers due to the pattern matching algorithms used by the regular expressions. In the case of complex expressions, it is recommended to test the effect on the CPU load before rolling out the setting to production systems.

Configuring CID Masking in the Service Logs

Step 1 - Open the Verba Web Interface and go to the System \ Servers menu. Alternatively, it can be configured at the profile level, in the System \ Configuration Profiles menu.

Step 2 - Select the server or the configuration profile to configure.
