IGT achieves World Lottery Association's certification for security controls

International Game Technology (IGT) announced Wednesday it was recently awarded one of the lottery industry's security certifications: World Lottery Association's Security Control Standard: 2020 (WLA-SCS:2020) Level 2.

To earn this designation, IGT had to comply with requirements of ISO/IEC 27001 as well as additional, lottery-focused security requirements imposed by the WLA. IGT was then audited by the WLA-approved assessor, DNV GL - Business Assurance. 

The certification validates operations at IGT's major lottery-based campuses in North America, including Lakeland, Fla., Providence and West Greenwich, R.I. and Moncton, Canada.

In an official press release, Luke Orchard, IGT SVP, Chief Compliance and Risk Management Officer, spoke about this certification and said: "Earning the World Lottery Association's Security Control Standard: 2020 Certification reinforces IGT's leadership in maintaining and delivering secure services and technologies for lotteries around the world, and our commitment to quantifiable security measures that comply with leading, independent and industry-recognized accreditations".

In addition to delivering short, mid, and long-term security controls, the WLA-SCS:2020 certificate will make IGT and its proposals attractive in most lottery procurement processes.
