Kucoin has just secured the ISO 27001:2022 certification, one of the most respected international standards for information security.

A New Gold Standard for Security
ISO 27001:2022 is no small feat. It’s the gold standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), covering everything from encryption and endpoint security to access control and real-time threat response. Following an extensive third-party audit, KuCoin’s systems passed with flying colors—proving their ability to defend against evolving cyber threats while protecting user data at scale.
“Security and trust are paramount. This certification, as part of our Trust Project, underscores our commitment to delivering a reliable platform where users can trade with confidence.”
BC Wong, CEO of KuCoin
The Trust Project: $2B Backing a Safer Web3
Launched at TOKEN2049 Dubai in April 2025, KuCoin’s $2 billion Trust Project is designed to future-proof the platform for its 40 million+ global users. The ISO certification is a key milestone—but it’s just one piece of a broader strategy that includes:
Strengthening legal and cross-border compliance
Enhancing user transparency and asset safety
Boosting utility for the KCS (KuCoin Token) ecosystem
Built to Scale—and to Protect
Led by a security team of industry veterans, KuCoin’s architecture now operates under a framework that demands continuous monitoring, systematic risk assessment, and institutional-grade incident response.
The ISO 27001:2022 certification formally embeds this approach into its global operations—helping KuCoin meet and exceed data protection laws across jurisdictions.
What’s Next? More Certifications, More Confidence
This is just the beginning. KuCoin says it will continue pursuing globally recognized security and compliance standards, reinforcing its status as one of the most trusted platforms in the space.
From advanced threat modeling to user education and regulatory partnerships, the exchange’s Trust Project is built to scale—both technically and reputationally—as the industry matures. With over 40 million users in 200+ countries, KuCoin is leading the way in building a secure, transparent, and user-aligned future for Web3.
