dxFeed Earns Top ISO Security Certification, Raising Bar for FinTech

NEW YORK, NY – March 05, 2026 – In a move that reinforces the critical importance of information security in the financial sector, global market data provider dxFeed announced it has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification. This accomplishment provides independent verification that the company’s security practices meet the latest and most stringent international standards, a significant milestone for a firm that serves as a vital data conduit for the global capital markets.

The certification, awarded after a rigorous audit by the accredited security and compliance firm A-LIGN, covers all of dxFeed's services and global operations. For the company's clients—which include brokerages, exchanges, and professional traders who depend on the integrity of real-time financial information—the certification serves as a powerful signal of trust and operational resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

The Gold Standard Gets an Upgrade

While ISO 27001 has long been recognized as the benchmark for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), the 2022 version represents a significant evolution designed to address modern cybersecurity challenges. Published in October 2022, this updated standard introduces a more streamlined control set and, crucially, 11 new controls aimed at countering contemporary threats. Organizations certified under the previous 2013 version have until October 2025 to transition, placing dxFeed ahead of the curve in adopting these enhanced measures.

These new controls are particularly relevant to the financial technology space. They include requirements for:

• Threat Intelligence: Proactively gathering and analyzing information about existing and emerging threats to better prepare and respond.
• Security for Cloud Services: Implementing specific security measures for the use of cloud services, a critical area as more financial infrastructure migrates to the cloud.
• Data Leakage Prevention: Deploying technical measures to detect and prevent the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.

By achieving certification against this updated framework, dxFeed demonstrates a commitment not just to compliance, but to a proactive and forward-looking security posture. The process required a comprehensive review of the company's internal policies, risk management frameworks, access controls, and incident response protocols, ensuring that its defenses are robust and aligned with current best practices.

A Mandate for Trust in a High-Stakes Industry

In the financial market data industry, where providers like Bloomberg and Refinitiv also hold ISO 27001 certifications, robust security is not a luxury but a fundamental requirement. For clients, the integrity and confidentiality of data are paramount. A single data breach or service disruption can have cascading and catastrophic consequences. Therefore, independent verification of a vendor's security posture is a critical component of due diligence.

Achieving the latest ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard provides a key competitive differentiator. It assures clients that their data partner is not only compliant with established norms but is also actively adapting to the evolving threat landscape. For a financial institution’s compliance or risk management officer, partnering with a vendor certified to the 2022 standard can significantly streamline the vetting process and reduce the organization’s third-party risk profile.

This is further bolstered by the credibility of the auditor. A-LIGN is accredited by both the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) in the United States and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), giving its certifications global recognition and authority. Steve Simmons, President of A-LIGN, commented on the achievement, stating, "Congratulations to dxFeed on earning ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a widely recognized signal of trust and security. It is a pleasure to work with organizations that value rigorous audit processes and the delivery of high-quality compliance outcomes."

Navigating a Complex Regulatory and Threat Landscape

dxFeed’s certification comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny and escalating cyber threats within the financial services sector. Regulatory bodies worldwide, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), are imposing stricter rules on cybersecurity risk management, incident disclosure, and operational resilience.

This certification serves as a tangible response to these regulatory pressures. It provides a structured framework that helps demonstrate due diligence and a systematic approach to protecting sensitive information, aligning with the expectations of regulators and clients alike. In an industry where the average cost of a data breach is among the highest, investing in a verifiable, best-in-class security management system is a strategic imperative.

The company’s commitment to transparency is also highlighted by its dxFeed Trust Center, a dedicated online hub where clients and partners can review security documentation and monitor the firm's compliance posture. This initiative moves beyond simply holding a certificate, offering stakeholders ongoing visibility into the safeguards protecting their data flows.

Beyond the Badge: A Framework for Ongoing Resilience

For dxFeed, the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification is not a final destination but a cornerstone of an ongoing commitment to security excellence. Maintaining the certification requires continuous improvement, regular control testing, and annual surveillance audits to ensure the Information Security Management System remains effective and evolves with the business and the threat landscape.

This continuous cycle of assessment and improvement is essential for building true cyber resilience. It embeds security into the organizational culture, from development to operations, ensuring that risk management is a perpetual process rather than a one-time project. As dxFeed continues to enhance its AI- and IaaS-driven solutions, this robust security foundation will be critical for integrating new technologies securely and maintaining the trust it has built within the financial ecosystem.

By embracing the most current international security standard, dxFeed not only strengthens its own defenses but also contributes to the overall stability and integrity of the financial information supply chain, assuring partners and clients that their data is managed with the highest level of care and diligence.
