Gaming Laboratories International has successfully completed a security audit for the California State Lottery.
GLI was engaged to provide a security audit to meet the lottery’s biennial regulatory security requirements. The audit was performed against lottery industry leading standards, specifically the World Lottery Association Security Control Standard and the ISO 27001 Information Security Management Standard.
California State Lottery chief internal audit executive Roberto Zavala said: “GLI’s security audit went very well, was very professional and was quite educational for me and others on my staff.
“The report to the executive and the commission was very well received and provided the roadmap and benchmarking necessary for improvements to move towards World Lottery Association security certification.”
Greg Doucette, director of GLI’s global professional services division, added: “Lotteries are public organisations, and as such, the trust of players, governments, auditors and industry regulators is paramount.
“Taking the steps required to validate the information security process proves that a lottery has taken steps to proactively mitigate the probability and negative impact of damaging security incidents, helping to safeguard that trust.”
