Solana Security and Compliance, Written as Controls

A practical compliance and security control framework for organizations building and operating on Solana.

Solana Security and Compliance, Written as Controls

Solana adoption is accelerating across custody, staking, tokenization, and financial products. With that growth comes scrutiny around authority design, infrastructure integrity, and defensible operational controls.

This guide provides a practical compliance and security control framework for organisations building and operating on Solana.

What’s Inside

A control-based Solana security and compliance framework:

  • Authority controls for upgrade rights, mint/freeze privileges, and treasury governance
  • Infrastructure security for RPC, node ops, monitoring, and evidence retention
  • Program security: signer checks, account constraints, and CPI boundaries
  • Frontend and integration controls for phishing resistance and domain security
  • Incident response controls designed for audit-ready evidence

Why It Matters

Institutions evaluate Solana exposure through controls. Authority mistakes, weak signing workflows, and unsecured infrastructure create avoidable risk and weak audit posture.

This guide defines the controls that make Solana operations defensible, measurable, and maintainable.

Who This Is For

  • Custodians and wallet operators supporting Solana assets
  • Infrastructure providers running Solana transaction flow and data services
  • Security and compliance owners overseeing Solana exposure
  • Institutional product organisations deploying Solana programs
  • Treasury and operations stakeholders controlling authorities and funds

Who Made This

Cantina delivers structured security reviews and control assessments for institutions operating on Solana. We evaluate authority design, program security, and infrastructure posture against regulatory expectations.

We help teams build Solana systems that are secure by design, defensible under compliance scrutiny, and ready for onchain scale.
