eCOGRA, the independent testing lab is going to offer testing and certification of operators who plan to obtain gambling licenses in Sweden. The company will modify its ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to include the necessary standards and technical requirements of Swedish regulator Lotteriinspektionens.

eCOGRA is the only online gambling testing laboratory authorised to offer operators and software providers accredited ISO/IEC 27001 certifications for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), by having an ISO/IEC 17021-1:2015.

Shaun McCallaghan, eCOGRA Chief Operating Officer, said “we are extremely pleased to be able to assist our existing clients, and potential new clients, to comply with the necessary testing and certification requirements in Sweden. It is encouraging that a significant number of the largest multi-jurisdictional operators and software providers have already committed to using our services in this market, which reflects the quality of the service we’ve provided for these clients in other complex licensing jurisdictions.”
