Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), has been awarded an ISO 27001:2021 certification for its frontend development solution and content management system. The certification now covers development, infrastructure, network configuration and associated product operations for frontend, middleware and backend Gaming services hosted on GiG’s infrastructure. In addition, GiG is also ISO 27001 certified for its real-time data platform.

The accreditation means that through its agile security framework, GiG is protecting its partners and their players with the highest level of information security available, further demonstrating GiG’s commitment to continuous improvement and in providing its partners with a secure solution they can trust. Further to this, the certification exempts GIG’s clients from a number of rigorous jurisdiction-specific, technical, regulatory audits, saving time and cost.

ISO 27001 is one of the few standards which uses a top-down, risk-based approach to assessment and identifies the requirements and specifications for the most comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS).

Diane Abela, Director of Information Security at GiG, said

“At GiG, we operate in heavily regulated markets such as the UK and US, and so it’s imperative to us that we are at the top of our game when it comes to certification and information security is, therefore, a strategic priority for us. Acquiring a certification on yet another two of our core products is a clear reflection of the dedication and investment that the company continues to make in securing both our own and our clients’ information.
