In a recent interview with Altenar’s Denise Vella, the sportsbook software provider's Head of Information Security and Technical Compliance, viewers were given insight into the world of sports betting security and the measures Altenar takes to assess risk, manage the impact of potential data breaches, and maintain compliance with legal obligations.
Recently, the Information Security Team at Altenar—led by Denise—successfully obtained ISO/IEC 27001 certification for the design, development, deployment, and operation of solutions as a technology supplier to the iGaming industry, covering all functions based at and operating from their offices in the UK and Europe. Denise explained in her interview that the standard emphasizes regular reviews and continual improvement. The certification is valid for a three-year cycle, with annual surveillance audits to ensure adherence to defined policies and procedures.
Adding to the success of this achievement, ahead of the iGaming industry’s ICE Expo, Denise highlighted the importance of assuring Altenar’s business customers that data privacy and security are taken seriously—something this ISO certification demonstrates for B2B partners operating globally.
Adhering to global standards means that “Altenar takes a proactive approach to mitigate the risk of data breaches—and should one occur, we are taking steps to reduce the impact” for operator partners. “Our management team ensures the necessary resources are in place to support this.”
A Structured Information Security Framework, Processes, and Security-Focused Culture at Altenar
As Denise’s interview continued and her expertise became increasingly evident, the value of ISO certification and its impact on organizations like Altenar came into sharper focus.
Denise explained, “This defines a management system for information security, offering us a framework that consists of policies, management processes, defined responsibilities, and a set of controls covering all areas of IT.” Without pause, she added, “from human resources security to access control, to business continuity and incident management.”
Emphasizing Altenar’s growing focus on security, Denise reinforced the sportsbook software provider’s commitment by stating, “This certification, among others, helps establish a security culture through company-wide workshops and training.” This ensures “that everyone is aware of their responsibilities to uphold and maintain security standards.”
With Altenar holding gaming licenses in regulated markets such as Malta, Romania, and the UK—and maintaining certifications across numerous other jurisdictions—this achievement reflects the provider’s pride in its commitment to best practices and its recognition of the added value it brings.
