Nexo Successfully Validates Data Security Compliance with Type 2 SOC 2 Audit
Nexo has been awarded the AICPA certificate following a successful SOC 2 Audit, which showcases its unwavering commitment to core trust principles, including data security and privacy.
Nexo, the world’s leading institution for digital assets, has reached a significant milestone with the completion of its independent Type 2 SOC 2 audit. This accomplishment emphasizes Nexo’s dedication to delivering exceptional data security to its rapidly growing international clientele through its comprehensive platform.
The SOC 2 audit was conducted by A-LIGN, a prominent compliance assessor trusted by over 2,500 global organizations for managing cybersecurity risks. The audit involved an extensive evaluation of Nexo’s processes, confirming that the company’s infrastructure, software, personnel, data, policies, procedures, and operations have undergone a formal review and comply with the most rigorous global data privacy and protection laws.
The SOC 2 examination, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), holds global recognition and is widely regarded as a gold standard compliance indicator in the financial services industry.
“We, at Nexo, firmly believe that trust is not merely proclaimed; it is demonstrated, earned over time, and validated by impartial third parties. Security cannot be a mere claim; it must be substantiated. As we continue to navigate this digital frontier for over five years, we bear a fiduciary duty and an unwavering commitment to ensuring the protection of our clients’ data and their holdings on our platform. There is no room for complacency when it comes to safeguarding the assets and interests of those who place their trust in our hands,” commented Antoni Trenchev, Co-Founder and Managing Partner.
Since its inception in 2018, Nexo has prioritized providing the highest level of security and transparency for its customers’ assets. This guiding principle influences every decision made by the company and shapes the services it offers. From strategic partnerships with leading custody providers to pioneering real-time attestations in 2021, Nexo remains steadfast in its mission to deliver compliant and secure innovation.
Nexo’s security infrastructure adheres to the same rigorous standards as traditional finance companies, incorporating state-of-the-art identity verification technology, 256-bit SSL encryption, and compliance with CCSS Level 3 and ISO/IEC 27001 standards, among other robust security measures. Nexo is proud to maintain this level of security while staying ahead of evolving threats through the latest SOC 2 certification.
“The successful attainment of SOC 2 attestation by Nexo is a significant achievement, highlighting their unwavering commitment to the security and privacy requirements of their clients,” stated Scott Price, CEO of A-LIGN. “Industry leaders like Nexo recognize the value of combining automation software and expertise to produce an efficient, high-quality audit report and streamline the audit process.”
