WhiteBIT Sets New Industry Standard as First Exchange to Achieve Level 3 CCSS Certification

WhiteBIT achieves unparalleled security milestone

WhiteBIT has solidified its position as a global leader in cryptocurrency security by becoming the first exchange to earn Level 3 certification under the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS). This accolade sets a new benchmark in platform security, affirming WhiteBIT’s commitment to safeguarding user assets with cutting-edge technology and best practices.

The CCSS, developed by the CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4), defines stringent security requirements for cryptocurrency platforms. Level 3 certification, the highest tier, demands advanced measures such as multi-signature wallets, access controls, disaster recovery plans, and detailed audit trails. It complements established ICT frameworks like ISO 27001 and PCI DSS, underscoring its robust and specialized approach.

Rigorous audit sets WhiteBIT apart

WhiteBIT’s certification journey, conducted by the cybersecurity firm Hacken, involved over three years of preparation and a comprehensive 2.5-month audit. This process included in-depth evaluations of the platform’s security infrastructure, interviews with personnel, and the submission of over 100 security-related artifacts. The resulting 97-page report highlighted WhiteBIT’s excellence in compliance and advanced security protocols, including inspections of both hot and cold wallets.

"This certification is a proof of our strong commitment to safeguarding our users' assets. In an industry where trust must be earned every day, we have embraced rigorous security protocols that set new benchmarks for excellence. Our goal isn’t just to drive innovation but to ensure that these advancements are built on a secure foundation. The CCSS certification underscores our dedication to providing a safer experience for our global user base of over 5,5 million."
