Numeracle KYC Webinar at 2021 SIP Forum Summit

Ecosystem News
July 23, 2021

This webinar, “June 30 Has Passed, Now What’s Truly Expected for Voice Service Providers?”, was presented as part of the SIP Forum 2021 STIR/SHAKEN Virtual Summit, a multi‑session event dedicated to the deployment and operational realities of the STIR/SHAKEN Call Authentication Framework. The session was hosted by Numeracle and brought together regulatory, legal, and industry experts to address compliance responsibilities following the June 30 STIR/SHAKEN deadline.

Within the context of the Summit’s broader focus on reliable authentication, enforcement, and global considerations, this session zeroed in on robocall mitigation expectations under the STIR/SHAKEN framework and the TRACED Act. Speakers examined what regulators expect from voice service providers after initial implementation, particularly with respect to Robocall Mitigation Plans, ongoing due diligence, and accountability across the call path. FTC enforcement activity, including lessons from the Globex and Alcazar orders, was used to ground the discussion in real-world outcomes.

KYC Relevance

The session positions Know Your Customer as a critical operational requirement that extends well beyond June 30 certification. KYC is presented as the mechanism that enables providers to understand who is originating traffic on their networks, evaluate stated use cases, and detect fraudulent or unauthorized behavior over time.

Speakers explain how KYC supports both STIR/SHAKEN and robocall mitigation obligations by enabling identity vetting, continuous monitoring, and defensible decision-making. Legal expectations set by the FCC and enforced by the FTC are discussed in detail, including the risks associated with insufficient oversight or failure to maintain an effective mitigation plan.

Within the SIP Forum Summit setting, these KYC considerations are framed as essential to the long-term success and credibility of call authentication efforts across IP-based networks.

Numeracle's Stance

Numeracle emphasizes that sustainable compliance requires embedding KYC into everyday network governance rather than treating it as a one-time regulatory hurdle. Through its leadership of this SIP Forum Summit session, Numeracle advocates for a structured, ongoing due diligence approach that aligns identity validation, fraud monitoring, and escalation practices with regulator expectations.

Led by CEO and Founder Rebekah Johnson and joined by experts from Aegis Mobile, Kelley Drye, and Fonative (now Finvi), the session reinforces Numeracle’s position that verified identity and accountability are foundational to restoring trust in voice communications. By participating in the SIP Forum STIR/SHAKEN Virtual Summit, Numeracle underscores its commitment to industry collaboration and practical frameworks that help providers operate responsibly while meeting evolving enforcement standards.
