Konami Gaming Achieves ISO 27001 Certification for Enhanced Security

Konami achieves ISO Certification

Casino industry tech developer achieves international certification for its information security management system 

The certification was performed by Schellman & Company, LLC, an ANAB and UKAS accredited Certification Body based in the United States. ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard for the establishment and certification of an ISMS. 

The standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving a documented ISMS within the context of the organization’s overall business risks. 

It sets forth a risk-based approach that focuses on adequate and proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties. 

Statements by Konami Executives

“Compliance before commerce has been Konami’s long-held standard across the organization, and our work to clearly structure our ISMS and achieve ISO 27001 certification demonstrates a continued commitment towards this approach to our customers, partners, and employees,” said Brian Alu, vice president, information technology at Konami Gaming, Inc.

ISO 27001 Certification gives Konami’s casino customers and their players an assurance that data is protected by a rigorous system of processes and controls. 

To achieve certification, Konami underwent a comprehensive audit to verify compliance with internationally recognized standards. 

“Independent certification of SYNKROS under ISO 27001 is part of Konami’s enduring commitment to data privacy and security,” said Tom Soukup, senior vice president & chief systems product officer. “Our research and development, quality assurance, and customer support departments take great effort in providing and supporting our award winning SYNKROS casino properties with the highest level of data privacy and security, using acclaimed best practices.” 

The certification process required detailed planning, strategy, research, documentation, and collaboration across numerous internal Konami teams, including human resources, systems, marketing, technical compliance, security, IT, and iGaming.

“For more than a decade, Konami’s iGaming team has operated with an emphasis on trust, security, and player protection. Official ISO 27001 Certification in the development, deployment, and operation of Konami Online Interactive is the latest milestone in a long history of responsible product and organizational integrity at Konami,” said Eduardo Aching, vice president of iGaming & international gaming operations. 

Konami Gaming’s ISO 27001 Certification is valid for three years, with annual surveillance reviews beginning in 2027. The details of Konami Gaming’s ISMS certification are publicly available at www.schellman.com/certificate-director.
