BitOasis Earns ISO 27001 Certification - Raising the Bar for Information Security in MENA Crypto

BitOasis has reached a new milestone: we have achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. As one of the first virtual assets trading platforms in the Middle East and North Africa to secure this internationally recognised standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), we are demonstrating our enduring commitment to a core principle that has guided our business since our launch in 2016: security first, always.

Why ISO 27001 Matters

ISO 27001 is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an independent, non-governmental body that sets global benchmarks across industries. The ISO 27001 framework requires organisations to build and maintain comprehensive frameworks for enabling:

Proactive risk identification and mitigation;
Improved data confidentiality, integrity, and availability;
Continued compliance with regulatory and legal requirements related to information security;
Continuous improvement through regular audits.

Earning this certification means an accredited external auditor has validated that BitOasis has implemented and will continue to operate an end-to-end ISMS that meets the internationally recognised gold standard for information security.

What This Means for Our Community

Independent assurance: A globally accredited body has verified the robustness of our security posture.
Systematic protection: Customer data and assets are safeguarded by a living framework of policies, controls, and monitoring.
Proactive risk management: We identify threats early and address them in line with industry best practices.
Regulatory readiness: Our ISMS is designed to evolve with changing regulations, ensuring continued compliance.
Ongoing commitment: Security is not a “one-and-done” checklist; ISO 27001 obliges us to maintain and improve our ISMS year after year.

Security in Crypto: Why It Matters More Than Ever

Virtual assets combine rapid innovation with an evolving regulatory landscape, attributes that make the sector both exciting and challenging. As a pioneer, BitOasis has always believed that widespread adoption hinges on trust, education, and straightforward products backed by uncompromising security.

By securing the ISO 27001 certification, we demonstrate, rather than simply state, our dedication to protecting customer information and funds. It is the latest example of our long-term commitment to safety and security that has already seen us:

Launch industry-leading cold-storage practices.
Work closely with regional regulators, including the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the Central Bank of Bahrain.
Process over $7 billion in trading volume safely and transparently
