ChaseWaterford’s SIM and Scratch Card audits – making their mark with Operators!

The potential for fraud surrounding Telco products is an ongoing concern that many operators take very seriously says Max Kennett, a director at ChaseWaterford. These risks together with the growing competitiveness in the manufacturing industry has, in certain circumstances, meant that security measures applied by manufacturers do not adequately protect products such as SIM and Scratch Cards. In many circumstances there is a genuine misunderstanding of the risks to Telco products particularly to PIN files and as a consequence, the measures applied to protect them are inadequate.

Operators need to ensure the integrity of products at all stages of its life cycle and our audits provide them with a comprehensive report that clearly documents a manufacturer’s ability to secure both data and product throughout the manufacturing process. The quality of our audit services for both SIM and Scratch Card products has been highly praised by operators around the world and we have seen a significant increase in the number of audit requests from different regions.

The success of these audits has been very encouraging and the company is using a similar audit profile to develop standards for other industries. We have successfully applied our audit methodology to a number of other industries with similar success, notably in manufacturing and mining.
