CoinMarketCap announced that it has obtained a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation report following an independent examination of the controls protecting its market data systems. The company also completed a SOC 1 Type 1 examination, which addresses controls relevant to internal control over financial reporting.
Both Type 1 reports assess the design and implementation of controls as of a specific date and are available to partners and clients upon request. The SOC 2 assessment follows AICPA attestation standards and evaluates security controls against the Trust Services Criteria.
ISO Certifications
In June 2026, CoinMarketCap received dual ISO certifications. It is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management (certificate IS 838849) and to ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy information management (certificate PM 838852). Both certifications were awarded by the British Standards Institution and are maintained through a three‑year cycle with annual surveillance audits.
Scope of Assessments
The assessments cover the parts of the business that handle user and market information, including price tracking, market data, APIs, cloud systems, operational processes, account management, personally identifiable information, and the iOS and Android applications.
Implications for Clients
CoinMarketCap positions these independent credentials as evidence of security and privacy practices for enterprise buyers, procurement teams, compliance functions, and institutional counterparties that rely on recognized frameworks. The ISO/IEC 27701 certification aligns the platform’s privacy controls with GDPR and other global privacy regulations.
CEO Rush stated that the company’s data is used by millions of people and that trust should be demonstrated through independent assessment rather than claim.
Future Outlook
CoinMarketCap plans to continue expanding its developer and enterprise offerings, including market data APIs and agent‑facing products, while maintaining and extending its assessment program to meet the compliance requirements of institutional clients.
