ISO 17020

We are thrilled to announce that Firesand has achieved the ISO 17020 certification. The ISO/IEC 17020 accreditation recognises organisations that perform inspections, specifying the competence, objectivity, and consistency of inspection activities. The ISO 17020 sets a global standard in the cyber sector for conducting assessments, guaranteeing the level of operations at the highest possible level while confirming the technical competence of quality management systems.

A gold standard in the gaming and gambling industry, this certificate is mandatory in various gaming jurisdictions in the EU and US. It is a prerequisite to perform an inspection of components of online gaming and gambling systems and carry out full compliance assessments against requirements set by regulators around the world. The award demonstrates our high level of quality in our penetration testing services.

Organisations in the gambling and gaming industry are particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and are tasked with protecting themselves and their customers from threats. Proven ability to conduct rigorous penetration testing and detailed inspections into these weaknesses is incredibly important. The ISO 17020 certificate guarantees that Firesand has the capacity to perform these actions at the highest level.

This achievement shows Firesand’s commitment to quality in a tangible way. It acts as proof that our procedures are carried out consistently and with the right skills, as a result of exemplary training and industry expertise. It highlights our experience and competence in conducting formalist assessments of products and websites with processes that are of the highest possible level in our field.

Commenting on our accreditation, Chris Blake, Director and Principal Data Protection & Privacy Consultant, said:

“Security is ever-changing, especially when it comes to gaming business regulations, so we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve. It’s why we focus on attaining certifications that are not only respected and recognised throughout the industry on a global level, but ones we can constantly develop and expand upon. Our ISO accreditations allow us to provide our customers the best value and security possible, with world-class services and a proven track record of the technical abilities of our people and processes.”
