EDGEWATER PARK, N.J. — Smartplay International, a global leader in traditional and digital lottery drawing systems, announced today that it has officially achieved certification to the globally recognized ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS).
This milestone underscores Smartplay’s long-standing commitment to safeguarding system integrity, data confidentiality, and operational resilience for lottery operators and gaming clients worldwide.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international gold standard for information security management. Certification requires an exhaustive third-party evaluation across rigorous administrative, physical, and technical domains—including risk management, hardware and firmware development lifecycle, secure system architecture, user access control, and business continuity.
As the gaming landscape becomes increasingly interconnected, lotteries face unprecedented regulatory demands and cybersecurity challenges.
By implementing a fully audited ISMS across its design, manufacturing, and software operations, Smartplay ensures that both its automated mechanical drawing machines and digital random number generator (RNG) platforms adhere to the highest cybersecurity controls.
The achievement also establishes a direct alignment with the World Lottery Association Security Control Standard (WLA-SCS), reinforcing Smartplay’s position as a trusted technology supplier to the global lottery industry.
“For our lottery partners, security is not just a feature—it is the bedrock of public trust. Implementing the ISO 27001 framework guarantees that every stage of our technology lifecycle, operates under verified, industry-leading standards. We are proud to provide our global clients with the peace of mind that their draw systems are fortified against evolving risks.” — Kelly McHale, Vice President of Technology & Production, Smartplay International
For Smartplay’s lottery clients, this certification delivers measurable advantages:
Enhanced System & RNG Integrity: Rigorous independent validation of development, deployment, and testing procedures for digital draw platforms and electronic equipment.
Supply Chain Assurance: Independent verification that Smartplay’s internal processes, vendor relationships, and physical manufacturing facilities adhere to strict information protection protocols.
Seamless Regulatory & WLA Compliance: Accelerated audit readiness for lotteries operating under strict national gaming regulations or seeking WLA-SCS Level 2 compliance.
Operational Resilience: Formalized incident response, threat mitigation, and business continuity protocols designed to guarantee uninterrupted draw operations.
The ISO 27001:2022 accreditation complements Smartplay’s existing ISO 9001:2015 quality assurance benchmarks and reflects ongoing investment in modernizing drawing technology while maintaining the unimpeachable honesty and transparency required by regulated lotteries.
