The world’s booming exchange and DeFi Wallet, Crypto.com announces it has effectively completed the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Audit. According to their press release, the audit was carried out by globally established audit and consulting firm Deloitte.
By all means, Crypto.com has shown that its operations, policies, security practices, and procedures meet the SOC 2 standards for security, privacy, confidentiality, and availability. To clarify, the SOC 2 verification implies that Crypto.com proved it has enforced stringent policies and procedures in line with the AICPA Trust Services Criteria.
