Slots and gaming software supplier Red Tiger Gaming has been accredited with ISO 27001, the leading information security certification.

The achievement is evidence of the company’s commitment to compliance and to the handling of customer data. The certification also recognises a commitment to improving and securing contracts with operators and facilitates the process of applying for licences in new gaming jurisdictions.

Online gambling regulators are increasingly recognising the value of the ISO 27001 certification, with many jurisdictions now waiving certain security auditing requirements if the relevant parties are certified.

Gavin Hamilton, chief executive at Red Tiger, said: “We’re very pleased to be awarded this certification which demonstrates our desire to protect the data of our operator partners’ customers.

“We believe it is very important that we judge ourselves by international standards when we’re dealing with data and security and are confident this will serve us in good stead as we expand our business into new territories.”
