Telecommunication service providers operate in a rapidly changing environment. They need to stay competitive, constantly improve ROI, and meet regulatory challenges. One regulation of particular importance to telecommunication service providers is the need to protect Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) including call detail records (CDRs), services purchased, and type of usage. Whether as part of larger government regulation compliance or smaller partners' IT security requirements, deploying a security solution is no simple matter. To succeed, service providers need to follow four critical steps.

• Discover CPNI Data Across the IT Infrastructure
• Conduct a Compliance Gap Analysis
• Enact Security Controls to Meet FCC Requirements for Protecting CPNI
• Submit Signed Compliance Certificate Annually on or by March 1st
