The Head of Data Protection together with each companies Data Protection champion are responsible for our information security in close collaboration with Risk & Compliance and Legal when needed.
The Data Protection team develops and delivers the Risk Management Framework, which is governed by the risk management policy, as well as group-wide training on relevant topics. The risk work streams dictate the governance structure which is made up of information security, security operations, resilience, IT security, content protection, people, regulatory and business risks.
The governance committee monitors the group-level risks and risk-related activities and oversees the implementation of controls. It also supports and controls the risk framework as well as provides guidance, and escalating issues to the MTG Board of Directors and the executive management.
The role of the audit committee is to evaluate and challenge the risk framework. They measure and evaluate the impacts of the workstreams against set KPIs.
Throughout our esports vertical, we continued to improve and uphold a high standard for our event security. All our events are managed by a Project manager with the overall responsibility to oversee and govern the safety and security at our events, together with local law enforcement experts. All employees and volunteers receive information and guidelines on how to work safely at an event as well as how to report any misconduct or other incidents that may arise during the events.
The Co-CEO and Founder of ESL, Ralf Reichert, and Co-CEO of DreamHack, Marcus Lindmark, both agree that: “The safety and security of attendees, partners, and staff at our events is paramount. Therefore, we work very closely with venue security and local authorities to ensure we implement best practices in line with other sports and entertainment events.” Marcus adds, “We want everyone to be able to focus on the great experience they came for.”
