Chainlink hits milestone with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance

Chainlink has secured two key security certifications with the oracle network achieving ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 attestation.

Summary

• Chainlink has achieved ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 compliance certification.
• The milestones mean Chainlink’s security standard complies with international standards.

The Chainlink (LINK) team announced the milestone via a blog post on Aug. 21, noting the development makes it the first data and interoperability oracle platform to become ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 certified.

Assessment was based on the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and carried out by the accounting firm Deloitte & Touche LLP.

What does this mean?

The certifications underscore Chainlink’s position as a leading provider of enterprise-grade infrastructure, with the platform’s traction in real-world use cases critical across the industry. 

Both SOC 2 compliance and ISO 27001 mean Chainlink’s protocol, from a due diligence and security measures point of view, complies with international standards. The certifications indicate that Chainlink’s security and operational controls both protect the platform and its clients or users.

According to details Chainlink shared, the assessments that helped it achieve compliance focused on the platform’s core products and solutions: Chainlink Data Feeds and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol.
