Crypto.com Achieves PCI DSS v4.0 Certification: A Milestone in Payment Security
Strengthening security measures to protect customer data in the evolving digital world
Crypto.com, a global leader in regulatory compliance and trusted by over 100 million customers, has set a new industry benchmark by upgrading its Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification from version 3.2.1 to the latest v4.0. This move further solidifies the company’s dedication to enhancing security and data privacy across its platform.
Jason Lau, Chief Information Security Officer of Crypto.com, emphasized the importance of this achievement, stating:
“Achieving PCI DSS v4.0 certification further solidifies Crypto.com’s unwavering commitment to security and data privacy by design. We are relentless in our pursuit of maintaining the highest security standards, ensuring our customers can trust our products with confidence.”
The PCI DSS v4.0 upgrade comes well ahead of the industry deadline of March 2025. This proactive step demonstrates Crypto.com’s leadership in ensuring stringent security measures, despite the constantly evolving landscape of digital threats. The updated version of PCI DSS retains its core 12 security requirements while adding new technologies and refining validation methods to ensure continuous protection against the latest threats.
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, echoed this sentiment:
“We are incredibly proud of this latest certification as it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to security and compliance, which has been a cornerstone of our business since day one. We will continue investing aggressively in building the most trusted platform for our users that maintains the highest standards of security and privacy in the industry.”
This new milestone builds upon Crypto.com's impressive track record of obtaining various certifications across security and compliance. The platform was the first virtual asset provider to achieve SOC2 Type 2, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 22301, and ISO 27701, among other recognitions. This latest upgrade further reinforces Crypto.com’s leadership in providing a secure, trustworthy platform for users in the rapidly evolving digital space.
Through its continued focus on security, Crypto.com has once again proven its dedication to safeguarding the privacy and data of its global user base, maintaining its position as a trusted leader in the cryptocurrency industry.
