GLI Test Labs Canada becomes WLA SCS Certification Service Entity
Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) has obtained WLA SCS Certification Service Entity status to provide WLA Security Control Standard certification audits for Lotteries.
GLI Test Labs Canada’s status as a “Certification Service Entity” means it is now the only specialized lottery industry organization headquartered in North America to carry the distinction.
Additionally, the company now has one of only 24 Accredited WLA Lead Auditors in the world. With GLI having both WLA SCS and ISO 27001 Lead Auditors, it means GLI can conduct a single-source complete certification audit. GLI has already completed two North American lottery certifications.
GLI Test Labs Canada Director of Lottery Services Gregory Doucette said, “We are very pleased to provide a North American-based, cost-effective WLA SCS certification audit solution that will permit lotteries to pursue the lottery sector’s only internationally recognized security standard. This, combined with our extensive experience, gives GLI yet another distinct competitive advantage that sets us apart from all other test labs globally.”
WLA, or World Lottery Association, is a global professional association of state lottery and gaming organizations from more than 80 countries on six continents. The ISO 27001 standard describes requirements for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). The WLA SCS, or World Lottery Association Security Control Standard, adds lottery-specific security controls to the ISMS, and specifies requirements for establishing, implementing and documenting security management systems.
