All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.
- Chainlink, the 11th largest token, has raised the bar on security by achieving ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 compliance.
- Deloitte carried out the audits following strict standards set by the AICPA, a U.S. organization that sets auditing rules.
Chainlink just set a new standard in blockchain security. It’s officially the first Oracle platform to achieve both ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, two of the most respected benchmarks in information security.
These are signals to banks, enterprises, and institutions that Chainlink is serious about protecting data and operating at enterprise-grade security levels.
With around 68% of the oracle market share by total value secured (TVS), Chainlink already protects more than $90 billion in assets and has powered tens of trillions of dollars in on-chain transactions. Its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is even being used by finance giants like Swift, UBS, ANZ Bank, and SBI Digital Markets to connect across blockchains.
What makes this milestone especially significant is that two of Chainlink’s core services, its Data Feeds (covering Price Feeds and SmartData like Proof of Reserve and NAV) and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which enables secure communication across blockchains, were independently audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP under strict AICPA standards.
As per Chainlink’s blog post, these certifications matter because ISO 27001 evaluates the entire information security management system, from infrastructure to operations, ensuring confidentiality, security, and reliability across the platform, while SOC 2 Type 1 confirms that Chainlink has the right security and operational controls in place to guard against threats. That’s why, when combined, they give enterprises greater confidence in adopting Chainlink.
“Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 attestation confirms that Chainlink has a robust set of security and operational controls to support compliant and reliable oracle services, which are designed to protect the interests of the organization and the security of its clients,” the Chainlink team stated.
Chainlink’s newly certified services cover some of the most important building blocks of Web3. Its Price Feeds make sure apps like lending protocols and stablecoins always have accurate, real-time market data.
Proof of Reserve gives peace of mind by verifying that tokenized and wrapped assets are actually backed by real reserves, protecting users from risks like infinite minting.
Then there’s CCIP, which securely moves data and value between blockchains, opening the door to a truly connected crypto ecosystem. CCIP currently supports over 60 networks on its mainnet. Finally, NAVLink brings Net Asset Value (NAV) data on-chain, making it easier to launch tokenized funds and even automate subscriptions and redemptions with fiat or stablecoins.
Driving DeFi Forward
In other news, Aave’s recent expansion into the Aptos network marks a big step forward for DeFi this year, and Chainlink has been playing a crucial role in making it possible. As CNF explained in a report, Chainlink delivers the reliable data that underpins Aave V3 on Aptos, keeping lending and borrowing secure and pegged to real market values.
Earlier, CNF also highlighted another integration: Bitget’s partnership with Chainlink to enhance its BGBTC product. Using Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve technology, users can now verify asset reserves transparently and in real time.
Meanwhile, LINK is trading around $24.82, up 10.85% in the past week, though it has dipped about 4% in the past day. Even so, the token remains 52% below its all-time high, leaving room for potential upside.
