Starting today, organizations can prove SOC 2 and ISO 27001 directly on-chain, turning traditional trust marks into transparent, tamper-evident credentials across Ethereum, ICP, KAIA, TON, Base, and Polygon.

A long-standing problem with counterfeit accreditations

Enterprises and partners rely on SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to assess risk and competence, yet verification is often manual, fragmented, and vulnerable to false claims. The UK’s national accreditation body (UKAS) warns about counterfeit certificates and even launched CertCheck in 2022 to help identify misleading claims. At the same time, many treat SOC 2 as a “certification” when it is actually an attestation report, a misunderstanding that fuels logo misuse and false marketing. The ISO itself reported nearly 49,000 valid ISO/IEC 27001 certificates worldwide in 2023, underscoring both the scale and the stakes: when proof is this widespread, falsification carries serious consequences.

VaaSBlock’s solution: on-chain certificate

VaaSBlock now automatically mints NFT-based verification for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Each record is verifiable on-chain across Ethereum, ICP, KAIA, TON, Base, and Polygon.

RMA™ + SOC 2/ISO 27001: verification included.
VB1™ badge holders: can add on-chain verification for a simple admin fee.

Academic and industry precedent shows blockchain credentialing works. MIT issues blockchain-verifiable diplomas, proving digital records can be durable and tamper-evident. Extending the same principle to security certifications closes a trust gap that affects every vendor review and supply-chain decision.

More to come

We will extend support to additional global certifications, consolidating compliance proof into one transparent, verifiable layer.

“Trust deserves proof you can verify without asking permission. Bringing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 on-chain closes the loop between established standards and the transparency Web3 was built to deliver. Our aim is simple: make it effortless for good actors to prove they are good actors, everywhere their partners need to see it.” — Ben Rogers, Co-Founder & CEO, VaaSBlock

On-chain verification transforms industry standards into living credentials that anyone can validate, reducing friction and reinforcing credibility.
