“Our analytics and business process outsourcing business revolves around the evaluation and management of our client’s valuable operational and consumer data and the protection of that data is one of our core responsibilities and goals as an organization,” says Kristofer Lyon, Collection Sciences, Founder & Managing Partner. “The Tech Lock Certified™ program is a great fit for our business model. At any given time we are subject to multiple regulatory standards along with several state and federal laws pertaining to the consumer information we access and manage.”
