Stablecoin issuer Tether Holdings Inc. kickstarts the second quarter of 2024 on a high note after completing its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tether.to/en/tether-announces-completion-of-system-organization-control-soc-2-type-1-audit/">System Organization Control</a> (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit.
<h2 id="strong-what-the-tether-audit-means-strong">What The Tether Audit Means?</h2>
In a published report, Tether announced the crucial security update which marks the beginning of a milestone for the cryptocurrency-based company. By this achievement, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/tether/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">USDT</a> issuer is currently in its initial phase of becoming one of the top firms with the highest level of security obtainable.
For context, the SOC 2 Type 1 audit examination is a well-recognized standard in security compliance as it assesses the design of systems, tools, and strategies for keeping data and customers’ account safe amongst other internal controls. It was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in 2010.
Tether believes that undergoing and completing this audit registers the company as a world-class leader and service provider that is committed to delivering secure experiences to its users. Considering the rigor of the process, the crypto firm may be permitted to make such a boast. The SOC 2 Type 1 audit is centered on five criteria; Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Privacy, and Confidentiality.
Distinctly, Tether had to prove to the auditor that it has robust IT measures in place, including installing firewalls, intrusion detection, and enhanced authentication protocols to keep its systems safe while keeping information private. Other metrics like network reliability and problem resolution speed were equally estimated in the process.
<a href="https://coingape.com/tether-ceo-predicts-fund-manager-rush-to-bitcoin-post-etf-approval/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Paolo Ardoino</a>, Tether’s CEO, acknowledged that the audit was user-centered.&nbsp;
“This compliance measure assures our customers that their assets and data are managed in an environment meeting the highest standards for data protection and information security,” he said “This independent validation of security controls is vital for Tether, demonstrating our commitment to being the world’s most trusted and compliant stablecoin.”

Generally, Tether has been introducing a lot of improvements to its platform, including expanding its services to accommodate the current trends in the industry.&nbsp;
Just before Q1 ended, the firm revealed its foray into the artificial intelligence (AI) sector with the launch of ‘<a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-tether-unveils-ai-division-data-for-open-source-ai-revolution/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether Data</a>’. This new AI division is focused on pioneering open-source, multimodal AI models.
Tether also <a href="https://coingape.com/tether-announces-usdt-launch-on-evm-compatible-celo/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expanded USDT usage</a> into the Celo blockchain to facilitate fast, low-fee transactions, enhancing microtransaction viability and stablecoin diversity.&nbsp;
Since the start of the year, Tether has surpassed the $100 billion market cap threshold, a figure that has solidified its position as the industry’s biggest stablecoin.
