Crypto.com announced it has completed the compliance audit for Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II. The audit was independently carried out by Deloitte.
SOC Type 2 as opposed to SOC Type 1 includes a long-term analysis of the company's security, design and safeguards over an extended period of time.
It also provides assurance to both existing and future customers that their data is safe.
