Vixio Announces Expansion of Infosecurity Requirements in Groundbreaking Technical Compliance Tool

Vixio is the only provider in the industry with this unique, centralised information security for technical compliance

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, is proud to announce that it has expanded its groundbreaking Technical Compliance Tool to cover over 80 different information security requirements in two dozen leading regulated jurisdictions worldwide.

The Technical Compliance Tool is the first of its kind to offer a one-stop solution for navigating technical requirements for gambling operators and suppliers and the addition of information security requirements now allows users to compare infosec standards globally to help maintain compliance and prepare for expansion to additional jurisdictions.

“We are delighted with the uptake in our powerful Technical Compliance Tool since it was launched at an industry event in London in September,” explains James Kilsby, Chief Analyst, Vixio. “Feedback from clients has reaffirmed our view that technical compliance is a diverse and increasingly challenging area within the online gambling industry. We are very proud to expand our product to support operators and suppliers as they position themselves to meet critical infosec compliance requirements on a multi-jurisdictional basis.” 

The expansion to include information security compliance takes it a step further at a critical time; amid heightened concerns about cybersecurity, gambling regulators are increasingly setting highly detailed requirements designed to ensure the technical security of online gaming platforms and the third-party systems that are integrated with them.

“For operators and suppliers alike, not only is fully understanding these often diverging information security requirements across multiple jurisdictions fundamental from a compliance perspective, it is also a critical part of evaluating new market entry due to the upfront and ongoing costs involved in meeting specific rules related to testing, assessments, audits and certification,” explains Roger Cowin, Technical Compliance Specialist, Vixio. 

Using the same intuitive functionality and thorough methodology applied to the Technical Compliance Tool’s coverage for online casino games, the expanded tool pulls in information from nearly forty thousand data points, allowing users to:

• Compare infosec requirements across multiple regulated markets to evaluate where common standards are in place, and where there are key divergences that operators and suppliers will need to address.
• Map out a multijurisdictional for penetration and vulnerability assessments, audits, security testing and certifications, providing full visibility into the infosec-related costs of entering new markets.
• Understand which global standards (ISO, PCI-DSS, NIST etc) serve as the bedrock for infosec requirements in specific jurisdictions.
• Evaluate infosec rules that apply to integrations between online gaming platforms and various third-party service providers.
• Efficiently analyse key requirements for system and data security, backup and recovery, remote access, change management and more.

Available jurisdictions for information security requirements in the Technical Compliance Tool include the following jurisdictions: Alderney, Brazil, Buenos Aires Province, Buenos Aires City, Colombia, Connecticut, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Isle of Man, Italy, Malta, Michigan, Netherlands, New Jersey, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Peru, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.
