By Joy Dumasia

Fireblocks provider of digital assets and crypto technology, announced that they had been certified by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in the categories of security (ISO 27001), cloud (ISO 27017) and privacy (ISO 27018). 

“We are extremely proud that we have secured not one but three ISO certifications in the areas of cloud, privacy, and security,” said Oded Blatman, CIO & CISO at Fireblocks. “Here at Fireblocks, we pride ourselves on establishing a foundation that continually strives to enhance the user experience. Fireblocks was developed with cutting-edge technology to help businesses overcome operational and security challenges, and we place a premium on privacy and security when it comes to cloud services. This is a tremendous certification for Fireblocks in terms of championing growing infrastructures, and we’re excited for what’s ahead.”

Based in Geneva, Switzerland, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-profit organisation that creates and publishes standards in various fields, ranging from information technology to fluid dynamics and nuclear energy. The organisation is home to 162 members, each of whom is the only representative of their particular region. As the world’s largest developer and publisher of standards, ISO plays a critical role in facilitating agreement among individual standards developers by disseminating the progress achieved by local developers in one’s home country to further the goal of standardisation.

Fireblocks ISO 27001 certification came after an extensive external audit of the company’s information security management system (ISMS) to develop and maintain their cloud-based platform, product, and IT infrastructure. Now certified in cloud, privacy and security, this accreditation makes Fireblocks the only crypto tech company to achieve all three certifications. These certifications give Fireblocks’ customers the confidence that their products and services uphold the highest security and privacy standards.

Recently, IBS Intelligence reported that DigitalBits Foundation, a leading contributor for DigitalBits, protocol layer blockchain prioritised security, speed, and cost-savings and focused on supporting digital consumer assets, and Fireblocks, the leading enterprise-grade platform delivering a secure infrastructure for moving, storing, and issuing digital assets, recently announced the completion of the direct integration of the DigitalBits blockchain with Fireblocks.
