ISO 27001, because "trust us" is a bad security plan

In crypto, we spend a lot of time talking about "trustless" systems. But the irony of running a global exchange is that trust is actually the only currency that matters.

 

You can have the slickest UI and the deepest liquidity in the world, but if your security is a "trust me, bro" arrangement, you’re just waiting for a headline you don't want to read.

 

We decided to skip the pinky-swear approach. We just successfully completed our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification audit, verified by the team at Swiss Approval.

 

Beyond the buzzwords

For those who don’t spend their weekends reading compliance PDF files, ISO 27001:2022 is the international benchmark for how a company handles information. It is effectively the "adult in the room" of security standards.

 

While the industry at large saw over $3.4 billion lost to exploits in 2025, we’ve been busy tightening the screws on our Information Security Management System (ISMS). The 2022 update specifically targets the messy, modern realities of our industry: cloud vulnerabilities, data privacy, and threat intelligence.

 

 

What this actually means

Certification is more than just a badge. It represents a rigorous deep dive into our plumbing to ensure our security governance is woven into our daily operations. Our focus remains on:

• Logic over luck: Using risk-based oversight across every technical operation.

• The power of "no": Enforcing least-privilege access so only the right people touch the right data.

• Preparedness as default: Documenting incident response cycles so we aren't improvising during a crisis.

• Vetting the neighbors: Holding our third-party suppliers to the same annoying security standards we hold ourselves to.

 

But we didn't stop at an internal audit. We also put our systems under the microscope of CER.live, the leading cybersecurity rating platform. They’ve awarded Toobit a AAA rating, their highest possible score.

 

 

Why the AAA matters

CER.live’s methodology is famously rigorous, evaluating over 18 indicators including penetration testing, bug bounty programs, and Proof of Reserves. Because CER.live data directly informs CoinGecko’s Trust Score, this rating confirms that the industry's most trusted independent observers agree with our security posture.

 

Building for the long haul

This milestone sits right alongside our Bee-Safe stack and our ongoing Proof of Reserves (PoR). It’s part of a broader philosophy: we believe that being a mature partner for retail and institutional traders requires more than just a zero-hacking track record. It requires an auditable, transparent framework that proves we do what we say we’re doing.

 

The crypto industry is finally growing up. We’re happy to help lead the way, one audit at a time.
