Audits & Certification

An operator can claim anything about its security; an audit is what makes the claim checkable. This section covers the testing houses and certification schemes that sit between a casino platform and the regulator that licenses it — who they are, what a certificate actually attests to, and how narrow the scope of a typical engagement is. Articles here explain the difference between a random number generator certification and a full platform security assessment, why a penetration test dated eighteen months ago tells you little about today’s deployment, and what the standard reporting formats do and do not disclose to the public. We also look at the gaps: components excluded from scope, remediation that is promised but never re-tested, and certificates that keep appearing in a footer long after they expire. Readers should come away able to look at a compliance badge and ask the two useful questions — who issued it, and what exactly did they look at.
