Gambling CommissionSecurity Audits Requirement
Common tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) within the betting and gambling sector are linked to phishing and stealth malware. Malware (or malicious code) operates in various forms, either delivering on to Point of Sale (PoS) systems, terminals, and internal networks of host organizations. UK gambling commission has defined clear specifics for remote gambling operator licenses, requiring them to carry out annual security audits. This audit which is used as evidence is performed by third-party security companies such as Cyphere. This ensures that regular assessments are carried out to identify gaps and mitigate risks where security controls require improvements. Cyphere is well versed with the security requirements defined by Remote Technical Standards (RTS) and we provide in-depth technical assessments based on the section ‘Security Requirements’.
What are the keySecurity Challenges?
- Safeguarding publicly exposed assets such as terminals, kiosks, devices, applications
- Reducing growing risk with modern IT infrastructure
- Prevent identity thefts such as customer impersonation, strong KYC verifications
- Protecting communication channels and electronic systems in corporate areas
- Ensuring GDPR, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS compliance
- Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
Security Audits for Remote Gambling

- electronic systems that generate, transmit, or process random numbers used to
- determine the outcome of games or virtual events
- electronic systems that store results or the current state of a customer’s gamble points of entry to and exit from the above systems (other systems that are able to communicate directly with core critical systems)
- communication networks that transmit sensitive customer information.
Casinos or Cyber Security - All bets are off.
