Everstake, a leading global staking provider and
blockchain solutions company, has obtained AICPA System and
Organization Controls (SOC 2) Type 1 certification. The
certification follows a comprehensive compliance audit of
Everstake's staking infrastructure, conducted by the independent
cybersecurity firm Prescient Security,
verifying adherence to top-tier security and privacy standards
while delivering enterprise-level protection against cyber threats
for both individual and institutional stakers.
In the evolving Web3 space, SOC 2 certification serves as an
important bridge to traditional enterprises by aligning industry
standards with those established in Web2.
Thus, SOC 2 certification is a notable milestone for Everstake,
highlighting its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of
security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and
privacy in customer data management. This certification also
reflects the company's dedication to operational transparency,
enabling the continuous monitoring of security measures and
controls that allow Everstake to strengthen its security framework
consistently.
The SOC 2 audit also confirms that the company's infrastructure
can ensure client funds' safety and effectively address
cybersecurity threats, including slashing — a penalty imposed on
tokens staked with validators who violate network rules. This
achievement is especially critical during a crypto market bull run
when cyber attacks surge alongside the growing demand for digital
assets and DeFi applications.
The growing interest in staking services is evident: over the
past year, the amount of staked Ethereum tokens has surged by 74%,
rising from 19.5M ETH to 33.99M. Additionally, the amount of active
validators has increased by 16%, indicating the heightened demand
for staking solutions among crypto holders.
"Securing the SOC 2 attestation underscores Everstake's ongoing
commitment to ensuring the highest security standards are
consistently upheld across all operations. With the rising demand
for staking services, we recognize the critical importance of
dependable infrastructure for the proper functioning of blockchain
systems. Our mission is to pave the way for Web3 innovation while
protecting token holders and inspiring the industry to adopt the
best cybersecurity practices," said Denys Avierin, Chief
Information Officer at Everstake.
