Firesand, a leader in iGaming security solutions and software, has strengthened its relationship with RiskCherry, a specialist in iGaming certification, as the brands look to combine their complementary areas of expertise to deliver a comprehensive service to partners.

RiskCherry provides end-to-end certification solutions for iGaming content, covering RNG and game certification. While the company manages all aspects of certification, security testing is not part of its offering. Firesand fills this gap by delivering advanced penetration testing and Red Team services, ensuring robust security for clients.

The partnership also extends to ISO 27001 certification, where RiskCherry supports implementation and Firesand provides independent auditing, delivering a complete solution for businesses seeking accreditation and security assurance.

By combining their expertise, the two companies aim to equip their customers with a robust framework for certification and security services, reducing complexity and strengthening resilience against evolving threats, while ensuring the compliance processes are achieved quicker and more efficiently.

Matthew Holloway, Director at Firesand, said: “Partnering with RiskCherry allows us to deliver a truly end-to-end solution for iGaming operators and suppliers.

“Security and compliance go hand in hand, and 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 Risk Cherry, added: “Our mission has always been to simplify certification and compliance for the iGaming industry.

“By joining forces with Firesand, we can now offer clients a seamless experience that covers everything from RNG certification to advanced security audits, making compliance faster, more efficient, and more robust.”

Industry Perspective

This partnership addresses a critical gap in the iGaming compliance landscape, where operators and suppliers often juggle multiple vendors for certification and security requirements. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies across global markets, the ability to access integrated certification and penetration testing services through a single partnership streamlines what has traditionally been a fragmented process.

The collaboration between Firesand and RiskCherry is particularly timely given the increasing sophistication of cyber threats targeting iGaming platforms. By combining RNG certification with advanced Red Team security testing, the partnership offers operators a more complete risk assessment framework. The addition of ISO 27001 implementation and auditing services further positions both companies to serve operators entering newly regulated markets where information security management standards are becoming mandatory licensing requirements.

This model of complementary service partnerships reflects a broader trend in the iGaming B2B sector, where specialized providers are collaborating rather than competing to deliver comprehensive solutions that address the complex regulatory and security challenges facing modern operators.
