Shinka, the independent mediation and header bidding platform powering programmatic advertising for CTV and DOOH, today (11th December, 2025) announced that it has successfully completed its System and Organisation Controls (SOC) 2® Type I audit. This milestone reflects Shinka's commitment to enterprise-grade security as the company scales its unified auction platform across its 35+ SSP, DSP and Customer integrations. 

"Our publisher partners, from global CTV platforms to premium DOOH operators, entrust Shinka with mission-critical programmatic workflows and sensitive advertising data. Earning SOC 2 Type I certification validates the rigour of our security programme and gives every stakeholder the confidence to scale their programmatic revenue through our platform." - Kieran Greene, founder & CEO of Shinka

What SOC 2 Type I Certification means for Shinka

• Enterprise-grade security: The independent examination confirms that Shinka's controls for security, availability, and confidentiality meet rigorous standards, ensuring robust protection of publisher and demand partner data.
  
• Accelerated partnership cycles: With SOC 2 Type I attestation in hand, security and procurement reviews for enterprise publishers and SSPs are streamlined, enabling faster onboarding and time-to-value for Shinka’s partners.
  
• Foundation for global expansion: A hardened infrastructure positions Shinka to enter new markets, including the planned US & EMEA expansion in 2026, while maintaining the highest security standards.
  
• Deepens SSP collaboration: Certified security enables more sophisticated integrations with demand partners, unlocking enhanced bidding strategies and optimised fill rates for publishers.

Benefits for the CTV and DOOH Industry

• Raises the bar for ad tech providers: Shinka's certification demonstrates that sophisticated security and compliance are now a key accreditation for modern programmatic infrastructure suppliers.
  
• Facilitates deeper data collaboration: Publishers and demand partners can confidently share bid data, inventory signals, and performance metrics, unlocking richer optimisation and more measurable outcomes.
  

Looking Ahead

Shinka is currently pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification, which will demonstrate the effectiveness of security controls over time, as well as ISO 27001 certification. These initiatives support the company's growth trajectory as it expands its platform capabilities, growing customer base and geographic reach.
