ControlCase, a compliance, information security and risk management solutions provider, announced that it has certified Snapfinger, a mobile restaurant food ordering and payment application provider, for Level 1 Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification for the sixth year in a row.

The certification comes after continuous monitoring and maintenance of the compliance of the company's secure payment application, process and procedures. PCI DSS is a series of security requirements that must be followed by any company that stores, processes or transmits credit card data in order to protect this sensitive data and prevent the risk of fraud.

Snapfinger was the first restaurant food ordering application to achieve PCI DSS compliance back in 2006, according to Snapfinger CEO Jim Garrett. The company has continued to maintain Level 1 compliance—the highest level of certification—by having an on-site inspection every year.

Through its CaaS platform, ControlCase provides Snapfinger with a single source for such services as compliance issue tracking, vulnerability scanning, penetration and application security testing, sensitive data discovery, firewall security, event logging and monitoring, user access review and vendor risk management. The offering also provides continuous 24/7 monitoring of PCI DSS compliance to ensure customer data is more secure and better protected.
