KuCoin Elevates Wallet Security with CCSS Level 3 Certification
KuCoin has upgraded its wallet management services to CCSS v8.1 Level 3, signaling a shift toward more rigorous oversight of cryptographic keys. This full system certification moves beyond the previous Level 2 status, imposing stricter requirements on key lifecycles and administrative access to mitigate single points of failure.
This certification integrates with KuCoin’s existing suite of security standards, including SOC 2 Type II and various ISO frameworks covering information security, privacy, and AI governance. BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin, noted that the advancement reflects a commitment to testing and validating security systems rather than relying on static compliance. The move reinforces the exchange's broader effort to standardize its operational accountability as it serves over 45 million users globally.
