ISO/IEC 27001 is one of the world's best-known standards for information security management systems (ISMS), defining requirements to safeguard sensitive data and protect business interests.
Betsson Group has transitioned from the ISO 27001:2013 certification to the ISO 27001:2022 certification, following a confirmation by the British Assessment Bureau (BAB), an internationally recognised body accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) – the sole body appointed by the UK Government to provide accreditation to certification bodies in the UK. This milestone highlights Betsson’s systematic approach to protecting sensitive information, including customer data, employee details, intellectual property, financial information and third-party data.
Betsson Group obtained the ISO 27001:2022 certification by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization in December 2024, replacing the ISO 27001:2013 certification, first obtained in 2019 and consistently maintained it in the successive years.
The ISO 27001 standard supports companies with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system. Meeting this standard means that a business has a solid plan to manage risks related to data security owned or handled by the company and that this system respects all the best practices and principles enshrined in the standard. The ISO 27001:2022 builds on the ISO 27001:2013 version with minor tweaks to some clauses, Annex updates, and the addition of new controls. It also refreshes some terminology and definitions to stay in sync with the latest industry standards.
