Voice transcription – How does Extended Voice Transcription Services – Azure provide customer data security?

Extended Voice Transcription Services streams media outside of Genesys Cloud to a third party to generate voice transcripts. Currently, these Extended Voice Transcription Services are provided by Microsoft through their Azure Speech-to-Text offering. As part of this combined offering, Genesys ensures data security in the following ways:

Note: Genesys Cloud is transitioning the Extended Voice Transcription Services engine from Microsoft Azure to AWS Transcribe. Impacted organizations will receive advance notice prior to any changes./bs_well]

• Azure Speech-to-Text does not store any audio or transcription data at rest. All data in-transit is encrypted. For more information, see Microsoft Data and Privacy for Speech-to-Text. 
• The media sent to Azure Speech-to-Text services is processed only in Azure’s server memory and no data is stored at rest by the third party.
• Once transcribed, all transcripts are encrypted and safely stored within Genesys Cloud.
• All media sent to a third party is encrypted using TLS.
• Transcripts created by Extended Voice Transcription and recorded interactions are stored by Genesys Cloud using the same type of encryption.
