Talk Configurations
When using Talk, you must adhere to the following configurations in order to remain in scope with our FedRAMP Tailored ATO:
- Use US-based phone numbers
- Disable the Talk recording feature
- Disable voicemail (and transcripts)
Additional Considerations
The above configurations ensure that all data stays within our FedRAMP compliant environment. Failure to follow one of more of these configurations renders this obsolete (i.e., data is no longer contained within the compliant environment).
