Tata Sky DTH - CC details on Phone – Its safe!

Many of you readers have written to me enquiring whether it is safe to purchase TS by giving CC details on the phone. As we hear details of CC fraud everyday, this is a very legitimate apprehension and needs to be addressed. The answer to the query is that yes, it is perfectly safe to buy TS on phone by giving your CC details. What you need to do is dial the CC number through the phone by typing the numbers on your phone keypad. These are then received by Tata Sky through a highly secure and encrypted system. As a result, your details are safe with Tata Sky eliminating the possibility of a Credit Card fraud.

In addition to this, Tata Sky has also been awarded the ISO: 27001: 2005 , which is the ultimate benchmark for information security. I have mentioned this in one of my previous blog posts. ISO 27001:2005 is an international standard that provides specifications and guidance for the establishment and proper maintenance of an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The purpose of ISMS is to ensure business continuity and reduce business damage by preventing and minimizing the impact of security incidents on customer operations, field services, IT-IS (Information Technology-Information Services), data center activities and other support functions.

I hope I have answered your queries and assuaged your fears. Thousands if not more have bought Tata Sky on telephone and no security breach has happened as yet. With additional security measures put in place by Tata Sky, such a thing does not appear to be a possibility even in future.
