(Hong Kong, May 8, 2025) Hong Kong's largest* licensed virtual asset exchange, HashKey Exchange, today announced that HashKey Custody Services Limited** (hereinafter referred to as "HashKey Exchange") has successfully passed the SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 dual certification, becoming one of the few companies in the industry to obtain both of these internationally recognized certifications. This marks HashKey Exchange's continued progress in compliance and security, providing more trustworthy enterprise-level digital asset services for individual and institutional investors.
The simultaneous acquisition of these two certifications by HashKey Exchange highlights its professional strength and compliance advantages in the digital asset service field. The SOC 1 Type 2 certification focuses on verifying HashKey Exchange's ongoing control capabilities in financial reporting accuracy, data integrity, and regulatory compliance, while the SOC 2 Type 2 certification confirms its ongoing service capabilities in customer data protection, risk management, and system stability.
According to the audit report, HashKey Exchange's operations have received comprehensive recognition from the auditing agency in terms of applicability and sustainability. The certification process strictly follows the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) "Trust Services Criteria" TSP Section 100 requirements, and through multidimensional testing, including system checks and risk assessments, it has been confirmed that HashKey has consistently maintained effective control throughout the audit period.
It is noteworthy that this dual certification complements HashKey Exchange's existing ISO 27001 information security management system and ISO 27701 privacy information management system, together constructing an industry-leading multidimensional compliance system.
The SOC 1 Type 2 report is prepared in accordance with the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) International Standard on Assurance Engagements No. 3402 (ISAE 3402), while the SOC 2 Type 2 report is prepared based on the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Both certifications are issued after independent auditing agencies conduct ongoing rigorous monitoring and evaluation of the enterprise, and are widely regarded by global financial institutions as the "gold standard" for measuring corporate compliance operational levels.
*As of January 31, 2025, HashKey Exchange ranks 7th on Coingecko, making it the highest-ranked licensed virtual asset exchange in Hong Kong.
