We’re thrilled to announce that KuCoin has successfully completed our SOC 2 Type II audit, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to security, availability, confidentiality, privacy, and processing integrity, further enhancing KuCoin's security and compliance standards.
What Is SOC 2 and Why Does It Matter?
SOC 2 is an internationally recognized auditing standard that demonstrates a company’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of security and privacy controls developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This framework evaluates how well a company safeguards customer data and ensures system reliability through rigorous internal controls.
KuCoin’s SOC 2 Type II certification involved a comprehensive, year-long review conducted by Decrypt Compliance. The independent audit assessed our policies, procedures, and systems to ensure they align with the industry-standard Trust Services Criteria, providing detailed and confidential insights into our security practices.
