Global Certification Validates Rigorous Information Security Management System Across Casino and Online Offerings
Konami Gaming, Inc. has officially announced the successful achievement of ISO 27001 Certification for its information security management system (ISMS), which supports both Konami’s SYNKROS® casino management system and the Konami Online Interactive iGaming offering. The certification assessment was performed by Schellman & Company, LLC, a United States-based Certification Body accredited by ANAB and UKAS.
ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard dedicated to the establishment and certification of an ISMS. The framework specifies comprehensive requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and continually improving a documented ISMS relative to an organization’s overall business risks. It utilizes a risk-based approach centered on adequate, proportionate security controls designed to safeguard critical information assets and instill confidence in partners and customers.
Commitment to Data Privacy and Security Standards
Achieving ISO 27001 Certification required Konami to undergo an exhaustive, comprehensive audit to verify full compliance with rigorous international standards, giving casino customers and their players formal assurance that data is protected by strict processes and controls. The certification process itself demanded extensive planning, detailed strategy, research, documentation, and close cross-departmental collaboration across numerous internal teams, including human resources, systems, marketing, technical compliance, security, IT, and iGaming.
