Comprehensive Approach: Compliance and Security on All Fronts
GLI deploys a portfolio of 360° compliance services structured in four main branches:

These services allow organizations of all sizes to mitigate risks and adapt to new challenges without losing focus on innovation. GLI's global network of laboratories and its specialized team closely collaborate with over 710 jurisdictions, contributing to defining regulations on emerging technologies, responsible gaming, and ongoing audits.
GLI-GSF: New Security Standard for the Gaming Sector
Security has taken center stage with the GLI Gaming Security Framework (GLI-GSF), a reference designed to fill relevant gaps in the protection of the different gaming verticals. This standard establishes minimum measures and specific guidelines applicable to each segment, serving as a starting point for regulators and suppliers seeking to develop reliable and threat-resistant systems.
GLI Secure complements this proposal through cybersecurity services: software quality testing, penetration tests, risk assessments, compliance, system modernization, and protection for lotteries and iGaming. The GLI Vendor Security program is aimed at verifying that third-party devices and systems meet cybersecurity requirements.
Innovations in Compliance Management: GLIAccess and Specialized Tools
For suppliers, the new GLIAccess offers a more agile digital experience, from document delivery to obtaining certifications. Enhancements include real-time monitoring, certificate downloads, management of new submissions, and requests from a single optimized digital panel.
For regulatory authorities, GLIAccess allows centralized and real-time access to certification information, testing progress, and jurisdictional status, accelerating decision-making and increasing transparency in processes. Its cloud operation promises 24/7 access, reduced administrative burden, and direct collaboration with the GLI team.
Among the tools for regulators is also Kobetron IRIS, a comprehensive cloud-based compliance management, inventory, and project flow system. It is accompanied by GI-4000Pro for verifying electronic signatures and Verify+, a system that unifies the main signature methods and functionalities to strengthen security with a single solution.
During G2E, GLI announces the launch of a revamped version of IRIS, aimed at greater speed, security, and versatility in regulatory management, aligned with the new needs of the sector.
