Chainlink, the leading decentralized oracle network, has achieved dual ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications, making it the first blockchain oracle platform to do so. These certifications place Chainlink on par with major financial and technology giants, solidifying its position as a secure and reliable infrastructure for Web3 data. The certifications underscore Chainlink's technical maturity and operational capability, positioning it as a backbone for global financial and data systems.

The ISO 27001 certification, an international benchmark for information security management systems, signals Chainlink's robust approach to safeguarding sensitive data. The SOC 2 Type 1 compliance highlights its ability to manage customer trust through effective internal controls [1]. The certifications were conducted by Deloitte & Touche LLP, based on attestation standards set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants [1].

The scope of the assessments covered Chainlink Data Feeds, including Price Feeds, Proof of Reserve, and Net Asset Value (NAV), as well as the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) [2]. These standards are critical to unlocking the next wave of onchain finance, where tens of trillions in real-world assets are tokenized and seamlessly transacted by leading financial institutions [3].

Chainlink's market share continues to grow, with its solutions powering 68% of the market's total value secured and supporting hundreds of protocols [3]. The platform recently surpassed $93 billion in Total Value Secured (TVS) and introduced state pricing for decentralized exchange-traded assets, Data Streams for equities and exchange-traded funds, and a LINK reserve [3]. Prominent platforms and DeFi protocols that rely on Chainlink include Aave, GMX, Compound, Ether.fi, and Pendle [3].

The certifications are significant milestones for Chainlink, enhancing its enterprise credibility and positioning it as a secure and compliant infrastructure for real-world in-production use cases [1]. For security-conscious businesses, SOC 2 compliance is a core requirement when doing due diligence on third-party vendors or protocols [1]. With these certifications in place, financial institutions can now feel even more confident in utilizing Chainlink standards and oracle services to unlock advanced use cases onchain that are secure and compliant [1].
