In the crypto ecosystem, trust isn’t stated, it’s proven. At Bitso, we’ve taken a historic step to ensure your money is protected by the most advanced protocols in the world.
That’s why at Bitso we’re proud to earn the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) 2025 certification, reaching the highest AAA rating with 3 stars in the Cer.Live ranking.
What is the CCSS certification and why does it matter?
The Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) is the most rigorous global standard designed specifically for the custody and management of digital assets. Unlike other general certifications, the CCSS focuses on the unique risks of the crypto world.
Bitso has become one of only 8 companies worldwide (and a pioneer in Latin America) to comply with version 9.0 of this standard, the strictest to date.
Real benefits of the CCSS certification for users
Achieving this certification isn’t just a technical milestone; it’s a direct guarantee of protection for every user who trusts our platform. These are the pillars that strengthen your security:
1. Top-tier cryptographic key management
The standard audits how we generate, store, and use private keys. This ensures that only Bitso, under strict protocols, has access to managing the funds, eliminating single points of failure.
2. Proof of Reserves (PoR) audits
Transparency is fundamental. Compliance with CCSS 2025 requires recurring Proof of Reserves processes, ensuring that your funds are always backed 1:1 and available to you at any time.
3. Mitigation of internal and external threats
From physical access controls to defenses against sophisticated cyberattacks, this certification ensures that Bitso has security walls in place that prevent data breaches and asset theft.
A regulated and transparent ecosystem
This new certification doesn’t come alone. It integrates with our compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, consolidating a robust security infrastructure that exceeds the minimum requirements of financial regulators.
“By applying rigorous protocols for key lifecycle management, we reaffirm Bitso as a transparent and security-focused leader”, says Jeff Fostek, CISO of Bitso.
The future of money is secure
At Bitso, our priority is for you to focus only on your financial goals, while we take care of the technology that protects them. As one of the few platforms with an AAA rating, we’re setting a new benchmark for trust in Latin America.
Your security is our greatest investment. You can now download or open your Bitso app to trade securely.
