Strengthening Security and Trust Worldwide
Scientific Games stated that its operations in the UK, the Channel Islands and Ireland have successfully gained key international certifications, cementing the company’s reputation as a standard-setter in the global lottery and gaming sector.
The newly achieved certificates include ISO/IEC 27001:2022 the latest edition of the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS). This accreditation confirms that Scientific Games has built a thorough, risk-based structure to assure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.
In addition, the firm’s National Logistics Centre in Warrington (UK), the SG Studios digital game development center in Jersey, Channel Islands, and a lottery-retailer technology facility in Ireland have earned the WLA Level 2 Security Control Standard further attesting to the strength of their security management practices, especially relevant to companies serving regulated lotteries.
As observed by Andrew Jackson, Vice President of Corporate Responsibility at Scientific Games: “Earning these certifications is about much more than compliance, it’s about trust. Our customers and their players trust on us to protect data and respect the integrity of every transaction".
Broad Compliance
These new certificates add to the already established ones for quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety standards. Specifically, Scientific Games holds ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety indicating its wide dedication to operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and workforce wellbeing.
Additionally, the corporation maintains certification under the WLA’s Responsible Gaming framework, reinforcing ethical standards and consumer safety across its global lottery operations.
Raising Compliance Standards
The gaming and lottery sector increasingly confronts scrutiny over data privacy, regulatory compliance, and operational integrity – especially as digital platforms spread and user data flows grow more complicated. Having ISO/IEC 27001 and WLA security certifications helps Scientific Games demonstrate resilience against cyber risks and confidence to regulators, lottery operators, and end users globally.
By meeting these criteria in numerous jurisdictions, Scientific Games increases its position as a trusted global supplier of retail and digital lottery services. This could set a standard for other companies in the industry to follow.
Elevating Security Benchmarks
As data security, regulatory compliance, and ethical standards become increasingly critical in the gaming and lottery sector, Scientific Games’ extended array of certifications positions it as a global leader in trust, integrity, and operational excellence. The organisation is now in a good position to satisfy changing rules and higher expectations from clients and players thanks to these new qualifications. This may make other businesses in the same field do the same thing, which would raise the standards for security and compliance across the whole market.
