Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) is expanding its market for World Lottery Association Security Control Standard (WLA-SCS) and ISO 27001 Information Security Management Certification audit services to Europe and Africa. Already well established in North America with numerous lottery clients, GLI’s Professional Services Division is receiving increasing interest from lotteries around the world for its global lottery expertise and services.

GLI’s Professional Services Division has successfully completed a WLA-SCS Certification audit for its first African lottery client, the Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise (LONASE), and is continuing to grow its client base in Africa as well as in Europe.

“We were very pleased Loterie Nationale Sénégalaise chose GLI and our Professional Services Division to conduct their WLA Security Control Standard audit,” GLI’s Director of the Lottery & Gaming Practice Thomas Bierbach said. “Since GLI’s creation of its Professional Services Division in 2011, we have grown to a global team consisting of the industry’s foremost leading experts, and lottery clients around the world can rely on GLI, confident that their projects are carried out by the industry’s best.”
