KuCoin Advances to CCSS Level 3 Certification for Enhanced Security Controls
KuCoin, a leading global crypto platform built on trust and security, has announced that its Wallet Management Services have upgraded from CCSS v8.1 Level 2 to CCSS v8.1 Level 3, Full System Certification.
This upgrade demonstrates greater control maturity across key management, organizational safeguards, incident readiness, and auditability.
Level 3 strengthens controls throughout the cryptographic key lifecycle, introducing greater separation of responsibilities, more rigorous access and personnel controls, regular testing of key-compromise response procedures, broader independent assurance, and continual backup of operational logs.
The certification complements KuCoin's multi-layered assurance framework, which includes SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management, ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy information management, ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity, and ISO/IEC 42001:2023 for responsible AI management and governance.
According to BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, 'Trust is not established through a single certification; it is a system that must be continually tested, validated, and improved.'
