Gemini Certifies High Level of Security Compliance Successfully Passing Deloitte’s Review

To gain more trust and raise reputation, many companies address auditing firms to review their activity. Recently, Gemini, licensed digital asset exchange based in New York, did the same and applied to Deloitte, one of the “Big Four” auditing firms, to conduct a security compliance audit.

As a result, Gemini has successfully completed the SOC 2 Type 1 examination and confirmed its status of a company with a high level of security compliance in protecting customer data and funds.

According to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), “SOC 2 examinations are specifically designed to address controls at a service organization relevant to the systems at the service organization used to process users’ data”.

As Gemini stated, their mission is to build the future of money, and the SOC 2 review is an important step towards raising the bar for consumer protection, safeguards, and industry best practices. The company said that Deloitte inspected the design of security controls within the exchange to ensure it met the criteria set by the AICPA.

Gemini explained:

“This included a review of Gemini’s exchange application, infrastructure, and underlying customer database, as well as its institutional-grade cryptocurrency storage system that custodies the private keys of Gemini’s online and offline wallets.”

SOC 2 examinations were originally released in 2011 by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). They were introduced as an extension of the pre-existing SAS 70 audits, checking the way that companies secure their networks, infrastructure, customer data, and finances.

For Gemini, completion of the audit is a significant step that makes the company the world’s first cryptocurrency exchange and custodian with this level of security compliance.

They said:

“We feel strongly that this standard of compliance is what all retail and institutional consumers should expect of their cryptocurrency exchange and custodian. We know what is at stake when you trade and store crypto. That is why, in addition to our SOC 2 Type 1 review, we are also committed to obtaining our SOC 2 Type 2 review in 2019. This additional level of assurance will further validate the effectiveness of our internal controls.”

As the company has promised, a SOC 2 examination will be performed on an annual basis in order to demonstrate their “ongoing commitment to safeguarding your data and cryptocurrency”.
