Provider of compliance, information security and risk management solutions, ControlCase, recently added Chronic Disease Fund to its list of global clients which have selected its Compliance- as- a- Service (CaaS) platform in order to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). A series of security requirements that any company dealing with credit card data must follow, PCI DSS helps protect sensitive data from fraud.

Chronic Disease Fund is a not-for-profit organization which provides financial assistance to patients with chronic disease, cancer and other life-altering conditions. It supports the cost of such patients' medications and insurance co-payments, while providing travel assistance as well as a broad range of online tools to help monitor assistance from Chronic Disease Fund. The organization prides itself on maintaining a low cost base, directing 91 percent of all funds generated directly to patients.

The organization turned to ControlCase after finding PCI compliance was becoming increasingly difficult to manage in house. As such, Chronic Disease Fund sought an efficient, cost-effective and comprehensive compliance solution provider, which it found in ControlCase. Indeed, the company's turnkey compliance platform offers a significant annual cost savings.

"As a result of working with ControlCase, Chronic Disease Fund no longer needs to divert precious resources to understanding regulatory changes and monitoring PCI compliance," said Chris Chance, network architect for Chronic Disease Fund, in a statement. "Instead, internal resources are freed up to focus on more critical tasks that directly support patients in need."

ControlCase's unique CaaS platform provides customers with a single source for 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. It also provides continuous 24/7 monitoring of PCI DSS monitoring.

In July, ControlCase began offering its Compliant Cloud service, a fully hosted solution that includes all the necessary products and services required to keep cloud infrastructures compliant with PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001/2 and other regulations and standards.
