This included a review of controls, processes, and governance across key generation, wallet creation, secure key storage and backup, access management, transaction authorization, logging and monitoring, risk management, and key compromise procedures
The assessment confirmed that CryptoProcessing applies rigorous governance, disciplined operational processes, and security controls aligned with leading crypto-native best practices across its entire infrastructure environment.
Why This Matters for Enterprise and Institutional Clients
As adoption grows and the market matures, enterprise clients expect payment providers to deliver strong performance and independently validated security standards.
Meeting CCSS Level 3 (Full System) requirements strengthens CryptoProcessing’s position as a trusted provider and reflects the strength of its security and operational framework. It also helps reduce operational and custodial risks for clients, simplify due diligence processes for banks and institutional partners, and support alignment with regulatory expectations and frameworks such as DORA and MiCA.

It requires disciplined operations, formalized governance, and resilient security controls across the entire environment. Achieving CCSS Level 3 confirms that CryptoProcessing meets that standard at the highest level. It is a meaningful validation of our infrastructure maturity and a strong signal of trust for businesses that depend on us to support secure digital asset operations at scale
CryptoProcessing continues to strengthen its technology and control environment to help businesses confidently accept and manage digital assets at scale.
