Security and Compliance
A cornerstone of HomeTown’s ongoing desire to elevate the bar in product and service across the digital ticketing industry is SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE. This philosophy spans from access controls, handling of fan and client data, accessibility compliance and background checks for all of our employees annually.
Our security program is forged from industry standard frameworks including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publication 800-series, Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT), Center for Internet Security (CIS), PCI Security Standards Council (PCI-DSS), and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), while also taking guidance from external, independent auditors and assessors.
