Bitso Reaches the CCSS 2025 Security Standard: What Does It Mean for Your Assets?

In the cryptocurrency ecosystem, trust is not claimed—it is 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 we are proud to announce that Bitso has obtained the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) 2025 certification, achieving the highest possible AAA rating with 3 stars on Cer.Live’s ranking.

What Is the CCSS Certification and Why Is It Important?

The Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) is the most rigorous global standard specifically designed for the custody and management of digital assets. Unlike other general certifications, CCSS focuses on the unique risks of the crypto ecosystem.

Bitso is now 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 CCSS Certification for Users

Achieving this certification is not just a technical milestone; it’s a direct guarantee of protection for every user who trusts our platform. These are the pillars that reinforce your security:

1. Advanced cryptographic key management

The standard audits how we generate, store, and use private keys. This ensures that only Bitso—under strict protocols—can manage funds, eliminating single points of failure.

2. Proof of Reserves (PoR) audits

Transparency is essential. CCSS 2025 compliance requires recurring Proof of Reserves processes, ensuring your funds are always backed 1:1 and available whenever you need them.

3. Internal and external threat mitigation

From physical access controls to defenses against sophisticated cyberattacks, this certification guarantees that Bitso has strong security barriers in place to prevent data leaks and asset theft.

A Regulated and Transparent Ecosystem

This new certification does not stand alone. It integrates with our compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, consolidating a robust security infrastructure that exceeds minimum financial regulatory requirements.

"By applying rigorous protocols for key lifecycle management, we reaffirm Bitso as a transparent leader focused on security," says Jeff Fostek, CISO of Bitso.

The Future of Money Is Secure

At Bitso, our priority is that you focus on your financial goals while we take care of the technology that protects them. By being one of the few platforms with an AAA rating, we are setting a new benchmark of trust in Latin America.
