PRAGMATIC PLAY GRANTED ISO 27001 CERTIFICATION
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, has proven its commitment to meeting the highest technological standards by receiving its ISO 27001 certification.
The ISO/IEC 27001 is a widely known certification, providing requirements for an information security management system, allowing organisations to manage the security of assets.
The certification provides recognition of Pragmatic Play’s approach to security and compliance across the whole business. It provides further assurance to the supplier’s clients about its approach to information security and data, while also creating new opportunities for Pragmatic Play throughout regulated markets.
It marks yet another exciting development for Pragmatic Play, with the supplier continuing to expand in jurisdictions all over the globe.
Andrey Zhelo, Head of Information Security at Pragmatic Play said: “We’re extremely proud of our approach to data and information security and it’s a landmark moment for us as we receive our ISO 27001 certificate.
“Receiving this certification not only proves we’re committed to upholding the highest level of security as an organisation, but that our partners can be reassured our business practices are held to the highest possible standard.”
Currently producing up to five new slot titles a month, Pragmatic Play also delivers Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.
