Frequently asked questions
How does Plivo secure customer data?
Plivo is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and holds a PCI DSS Level 1 certification. We also publish a list of security best practices that you can employ to make your accounts more secure.
Can I use Plivo to send one-time passwords for more secure authentication?
Many of our customers generate and send OTPs through messages sent via our SMS and voice APIs. We’ve written use case guides that walk you through the process of writing code for two-factor authentication (2FA).
Do you offer a cheap alternative to renting a phone number from the phone company?
Zentrunk, Plivo’s SIP trunking service, provides a pure VoIP service for outbound and inbound voice calls. If you’re looking to increase the capacity of your current telecom stack, increase coverage, or extend or replace your on-premises infrastructure, read our Zentrunk guide to get started.
How easy is it to build IVR menus with Plivo?
Easier than you might expect. You can build a system without writing a single line of code by using our PHLO visual design tool, or code it in any of seven languages with the help of a Plivo SDK. We’ve written use case guides that show both approaches.
