Crypto.com, one of the best-established cryptocurrency exchanges, has successfully secured the third level of Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) compliance.
With this achievement, Crypto.com adds an extra layer of compliance to its already existing level one certification.
What is CCSS Level 3?
The Cryptocurrency Security Standard is one of the essential quality and security requirements cryptocurrency exchanges have to meet. In order to achieve the third CCSS level of compliance, exchanges have to go through a rigorous audit.
According to CCSS’s official website, the factors that determine whether an exchange will secure level three focus predominantly on:
enhanced levels of security with formalized policies and procedures that are enforced at every step within their business processes.
The CCSS compliance system is comprised of three levels, which evaluate the quality of key requirements like seed generation, key storage, data sanitization, and audit logs, among others.
One of the best ways for exchanges to gain customer trust, and boost business is by securing at least level one certification by CCSS.
Many exchanges, like Binance and Coinbase, made it a focus to become recognized and reach CCSS compliance. These are two of the leading players on the market, and if CCSS compliance is vital to them, it should be for all crypto exchanges out there.
