Security & Compliance

Security & Compliance in
Customer Communication Management (CCM)

Modern CCM systems are under significant regulatory pressure. Companies must design their customer communications to be audit-proof, data protection compliant, and accessible – while requirements for IT security and governance
continue to increase.  

Security & Compliance

Requirements for CCM Systems

Modern CCM systems must meet the highest standards in security, traceability, and regulatory compliance. In the CCM context, this includes:

FAQ about CCM & Compliance

Audit-proof in Customer Communication Management (CCM) means that all changes to communication templates, text modules, and documents are transparently documented and can be reviewed historically. Versioning, audit trails, and clearly defined approval processes support compliance with regulatory documentation requirements. 

A CCM system supports data protection-compliant communication processes in line with GDPR through role- and rights-based access concepts, logging of changes, data minimization, and controlled handoffs to downstream business and archiving systems. This strengthens transparency and traceability in data processing.
Legal requirements such as the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG), the Web Accessibility Directive, and the European Accessibility Act define clear standards for accessible digital communication. The Serie M/ supports these requirements by enabling the creation of structured, accessible documents in the PDF/UA (ISO 14289) standard, as well as by providing editors aligned with WCAG guidelines.
