VeliTech secures ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its game providers

VeliTech has secured ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for the information security management system supporting its game providers, VeliPlay and Heaven of 7. The certification adds another formal security and compliance measure to the technology framework behind the companies' gaming content.

The certification is particularly relevant to iGaming operators that assess technology and content suppliers before integration. Information security is an important part of supplier due diligence because operators can depend on multiple external systems to deliver gaming content, manage technical processes and support ongoing commercial operations.

Rather than presenting security as a separate technical function, the certification relates to a structured information security management system. ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognised standard that defines requirements for establishing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system.

For VeliTech, the certification applies to the ISMS supporting VeliPlay and Heaven of 7. The company has positioned the achievement as a measure intended to provide additional assurance to operators and aggregation platforms working with its proprietary gaming content.

What the certification means for operators

Security assessments are increasingly incorporated into supplier onboarding and procurement procedures across technology-led industries. For iGaming businesses, those checks can involve questions surrounding information protection, risk management, incident handling and internal controls.

VeliTech said the certification provides greater confidence for operators integrating and distributing content from VeliPlay and Heaven of 7. The company also stated that the achievement can support supplier reviews and compliance processes where information security forms part of an operator's assessment.

The certification does not remove the need for individual operator due diligence or regulatory compliance. Instead, it provides an independently audited framework that can form part of a broader assessment of the supplier relationship.

This distinction is important for businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions. Regulatory obligations vary between markets and a supplier certification does not by itself establish that a particular gaming product or operator arrangement satisfies every applicable local requirement.

VeliPlay and Heaven of 7 remain central to the announcement

VeliPlay and Heaven of 7 are the two game providers specifically covered by the announcement. VeliPlay focuses on crash and instant games while Heaven of 7 specialises in slot content.

Their position within the wider VeliTech technology offering gives the certification a practical commercial dimension. Operators evaluating gaming content typically consider more than the entertainment value of individual titles. Technical integration, operational support, security processes and supplier governance can also affect onboarding decisions.

VeliTech's broader product ecosystem includes VeliGames, its game aggregation platform. This creates an additional connection between security processes supporting proprietary content and the systems used to make gaming products available to operators.

The company has therefore framed the certification as part of a wider effort to strengthen the operational foundation supporting its content activities rather than as an isolated compliance milestone.

Comments from VeliGames leadership

Irakli Kakhidze, CEO at VeliGames, linked the certification to the expectations of operators working with technology and content providers. He said:

“Operators need more than strong games. They need partners they can trust. This certification proves that security and compliance are built into how we work, not treated as an afterthought. It also gives us a stronger foundation to bring VeliPlay and Heaven of 7 content into more markets”.

The statement places the focus on supplier confidence and the role of security within VeliTech's expansion strategy. It also connects the certification with the company's stated objective of making its proprietary content available across additional markets.

For operators, however, the practical value of such a certification remains connected to how it fits into their own procurement, information security and compliance requirements.

Independent audit forms part of the process

Kerim Bekberov, Head of DevOps at VeliTech, highlighted the internal work associated with achieving the certification as well as the external assessment process. He said:

“The certification follows months of dedication, collaboration and hard work across the VeliTech engineering, infrastructure, compliance and operations teams, as well as a detailed independent audit. It demonstrates that our processes, security controls and operational practices meet internationally recognised standards for information security”.

The reference to an independent audit is relevant because ISO/IEC 27001 certification is associated with assessment against defined requirements for an organisation's information security management system.

For a technology supplier, preparing for such an assessment can involve reviewing internal processes, identifying information security risks, documenting controls and establishing mechanisms for ongoing improvement. These activities can extend across technical and operational departments rather than being confined to an engineering team.

The certification therefore provides an additional formal framework around the processes supporting VeliTech's proprietary game content.

Security and market expansion

VeliTech has connected the certification with its wider growth strategy and the international positioning of VeliPlay and Heaven of 7.

For suppliers operating across different regions, the ability to demonstrate established security processes can become relevant during commercial discussions. Operators may request evidence concerning information security policies, risk controls and governance before approving a supplier for integration.

An internationally recognised certification can help standardise how those controls are presented during such reviews. It does not replace market-specific licences, technical certifications or other regulatory requirements but can provide an additional layer of documentation for procurement and security teams.

This is especially relevant as operators increasingly manage extensive technology stacks involving platforms, payment systems, game aggregation services and proprietary gaming content. Each additional supplier can introduce another area requiring review and oversight.

VeliTech's certification consequently has significance beyond the individual studios named in the announcement. It forms part of the company's broader effort to establish structured processes around the technology supporting its gaming products.

A broader role for information security

Information security management is increasingly treated as an ongoing organisational responsibility rather than a one-time technical exercise. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is built around a management system approach that includes risk identification, information protection, incident management and continual improvement.

For companies serving the iGaming sector, this approach can be relevant because technology providers operate within an environment where platform reliability, data protection, compliance requirements and business continuity can intersect.

The certification should therefore be viewed in the context of ongoing governance. Maintaining an information security management system requires continuing attention to controls and processes rather than simply obtaining a certificate and treating the matter as complete.

That perspective also aligns with broader cybersecurity risk-management approaches used by organisations internationally. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, for example, provides a separate framework for understanding and managing cybersecurity risks and can be used alongside other organisational security practices.

What comes next for VeliTech

The company has indicated that the certification will support its efforts to expand the reach of VeliPlay and Heaven of 7 through operators and aggregation platforms worldwide.

For potential partners, the immediate relevance will likely be found in supplier evaluation and integration discussions. The certification gives VeliTech another documented credential to present when security and compliance requirements form part of the onboarding process.

At the same time, commercial expansion remains dependent on factors beyond information security. Market-specific regulations, technical integration requirements, product suitability and individual operator policies continue to play their respective roles.

The certification is therefore best understood as one component of a larger supplier proposition. It strengthens the formal security framework associated with VeliTech's game content while leaving operators responsible for completing their own regulatory and technical assessments.

Conclusion

VeliTech's ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification marks a significant development in the formal security framework supporting VeliPlay and Heaven of 7. Its importance lies not simply in the certification itself but in what a structured information security management system can contribute to supplier governance, risk assessment and operational confidence.

For operators, security assurance is increasingly part of the commercial foundations of an iGaming partnership. A documented management system can make those conversations more structured while supporting internal procurement and compliance procedures.

For VeliTech, the achievement provides an additional layer of formal assurance around its proprietary gaming operations as the company seeks broader international opportunities. The certification does not replace regulatory obligations or operator due diligence, but it establishes an additional reference point for assessing the processes behind its game content.

As the iGaming sector continues to depend on interconnected technology providers, the ability to demonstrate disciplined security practices is likely to remain an important part of responsible commercial expansion. VeliTech's latest certification places information security more visibly within that broader technology and content strategy.
