GC RTS
The Gambling Commission (GC) Remote Technical Standards (RTS) serves as a critical regulatory framework for the UK online gambling industry, ensuring that operators maintain high standards of fairness, security, and player protection.
The GC RTS is specifically targeted at online gambling operators and software providers operating within the UK market. This includes companies offering online casino games, sports betting, bingo, and other forms of remote gambling. Compliance with the RTS is mandatory for these operators to obtain and retain their licences from the UK Gambling Commission. The RTS aims to ensure that gambling products and services are fair, secure, and reliable, protecting consumers and maintaining the integrity of the UK gambling industry. In terms of security, RTS mandates that organisations implement robust security controls to protect player data and prevent unauthorised access or cyberattacks.
Assessments of existing information security frameworks/management systems and information security controls are conducted.
This includes reviewing documentation and working practices against ISO 27001 clauses (4-10) and Annex A controls.
Interim Information Security Manager services are available to cover absences, support recruitment, manage projects (e.g., management system implementation, regulatory compliance), or address turnaround/change requirements.
