The procedures for Stage 2 certification, involves a more detailed and formal compliance audit and independent testing of the ISMS against the requirements specified in ISO-27001, and is currently underway.
“We are continuing to put full measures in place that include the ISO-27001 as well as the platform certifications provided by Gaming Laboratories International (“GLI”) for our anticipated launch in the US sports betting market by the third quarter of 2020,” stated Michele (Mike) Ciavarella, Newgioco’s Chief Executive Officer. “We expect ISO-27001 to be completed within two months and to have Version 1 of Odissea’s Elys US Platform ready to submit for GLI-33 certification within two to three weeks. The GLI-33 certification independently verifies for state regulators the transparency of each bet transaction that is processed through our software.”
Once ISO-27001 certification is completed, Odissea will be subject to ongoing and follow-up reviews or audits to confirm that it remains in compliance with the standard.
