Firesand, a powerhouse in iGaming security, and RiskCherry, a specialist in automated iGaming certification, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver a unified, “one-stop-shop” service for the global gambling industry.
The collaboration bridges the gap between regulatory certification and cybersecurity resilience, providing operators and suppliers with a seamless pathway to enter regulated markets while safeguarding their infrastructure against sophisticated threats.
Filling the Security Gap in Certification
While RiskCherry is an accredited laboratory for RNG (Random Number Generator) and game certification, traditional certification processes often overlook the underlying technical security. Firesand’s integration adds a critical layer of “Offensive Security” to the compliance journey.
The Combined Service Offering:
-
RiskCherry (Certification): Handles end-to-end game and RNG certification, leveraging AI-driven tools to deliver reports in as little as five days.
-
Firesand (Security): Provides advanced Penetration Testing and Red Team operations—simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities that standard audits might miss.
-
ISO 27001 Collaboration: RiskCherry supports the implementation of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), while Firesand provides the independent auditing required for accreditation.
Efficiency in a Regulated Landscape
In 2026, as jurisdictions like Brazil, Peru, and the UK tighten their technical standards, speed-to-market is a competitive necessity. This partnership reduces the complexity of dealing with multiple vendors, ensuring that security audits and game certifications move in parallel.
“Security and compliance go hand in hand,” said Matthew Holloway, Director at Firesand. “By combining our security expertise with their certification capabilities, we’re helping businesses stay ahead of both regulatory requirements and evolving cyber threats.”
Rob Fell, CEO at RiskCherry, echoed this sentiment: “Our mission has always been to simplify certification. By joining forces with Firesand, we can now offer a seamless experience… making compliance faster, more efficient, and more robust.”
The Technical Advantage for Operators
By adopting this end-to-end framework, iGaming entities can achieve:
-
Reduced Friction: Single point of contact for both technical security and math-based game audits.
-
Regulatory Assurance: Documentation that satisfies the stringent ISO and penetration testing requirements of major global regulators.
-
Future-Proofing: Proactive resilience against account fraud, data breaches, and RNG manipulation.
