The WLA is looking for a Coordinator for their IT Security Control Standard Certification Program (100%)

The World Lottery Association (WLA) is a global, non-profit, member-based organization that represents the interests of more than 145 state-authorized lottery organizations from 80 countries, as well as more than 70 suppliers to the lottery industry. The WLA supports two internationally recognized standards for the lottery industry – the WLA Security Control Standard (WLA-SCS) and the WLA Responsible Gaming Framework (WLA-RGF).

The WLA-SCS is an internationally recognized security and risk management standard for the lottery sector.
