Gryphon ONE Advanced Edition  

Gryphon ONE’s Advanced edition offers a comprehensive, automated platform for proactive contact compliance, streamlining adherence to Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), state law and regulation, and business-specific requirements. By integrating real-time automation, Gryphon ONE Advanced edition eliminates manual processes, supports multi-channel exemptions and eligibility, and significantly reduces the risk of costly contact compliance errors, ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing regulatory exposure. 

Gryphon ONE Advanced edition includes all features of the Gryphon ONE Foundation edition, and the features listed below: 

Web Services Application Programming Interface  

Web Services Application Programming Interface (“API”) allows Customer to access compliance services via web API to certify contacts, and to manage Customer’s IDNC List, Customer Exemption Data Sets, and other Customer data as supported by Gryphon AI’s compliance services.  

Automated Call Blocking (requires a Voice Integration Add-On) 

Automated Call Blocking allows Customer to perform a real time compliance check at the time a telephone call is placed. When Customer initiates an outbound telephone call, the Voice Integration with Gryphon AI certifies the contact to determine if the call should be completed or blocked.
