GAMBLING COMMISSION - LICENSING CONDITIONS COMPLIANCE

The Gambling Commission regulates all gambling in the UK. All licensed remote gambling operators and gambling software operators have to meet specific licensing conditions, including technical standards.

Please email us or telephone + 44 (0)845 070 1750 and see how can help you ensure that you meet these stringent information security compliance requirements.

The following standards set out the requirements that licensed remote gambling operators and gambling software operators will need to meet.  The standards are in three parts:

• The Gambling Commission specific technical standards published on 1 June 2007;
• Annex B setting out the detailed timetable for compliance with relevant standards between the period 1 September 2007 and 1 September 2008;
• Annex C (Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards: Annex C - Security Requirements) sets out the requirement to abide by relevant sections of Annex A to ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (BS7799-2:2005) and was published on 27 July 2007.

Licensed remote gambling operators are also likely to have to comply with the requirements of PCI DSS, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. PCI DSS imposes strict information security control requirements on all merchants that process payment cards, and these security requirements overlap and intersect with the controls identified under the Gambling Commission's technical requirements.

What you need, therefore, is the assistance of experienced consultants who can help you map a route to compliance with the technical requirements of the Gambling Commission and those of PCI DSS simultaneously.
