CoinMarketCap has obtained a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation report following an independent examination of the security controls for the systems supporting its market data. CoinMarketCap also completed the SOC 1 Type 1 examination. The reports complement the international certifications the company already holds for information security and privacy management.SOC 2 is the assessment most often requested by enterprise buyers evaluating a technology vendor. Conducted in accordance with AICPA attestation standards, CoinMarketCap’s SOC 2 Type 1 report assesses the design and implementation of controls against the applicable Trust Services Criteria for Security. The SOC 1 Type 1 report covers controls relevant to internal control over financial reporting. Type 1 reports assess controls as of a specified date rather than over a period of time. Both reports are available to partners and clients on request.CoinMarketCap obtained its two ISO certifications in June 2026. The company is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management under certificate IS 838849, and to ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy information management under certificate PM 838852. Both certifications were independently assessed and awarded by the British Standards Institution. The certifications are maintained through a three-year cycle with annual surveillance audits, and both remain active.The assessments cover CoinMarketCap’s price-tracking and market data services, including the APIs that deliver that data. They also encompass the underlying cloud infrastructure and operational processes. Their scope extends to user account and personal data management, as well as CoinMarketCap’s iOS and Android applications.These reports and certifications reinforce CoinMarketCap’s security claims through independent examination of its security practices. CoinMarketCap sits upstream of much of crypto’s infrastructure, with its data feeding wallets, trading interfaces, research tools, and, increasingly, AI agents that query its data programmatically. Buyers in that position rarely take a vendor at its word. Procurement teams, compliance teams, and institutional counterparties rely on recognized frameworks and independent reports. ISO certifications and SOC attestation reports are credentials those teams already know how to evaluate.ISO/IEC 27701 covers the privacy component of the program. The standard extends ISO 27001 to address how personal data is collected, processed and protected. It is designed to align with GDPR and other applicable global privacy regulations. For a platform with users across a wide range of jurisdictions, that alignment matters as much as the security controls themselves.<blockquote> "Millions of people use CoinMarketCap to make decisions about their money," said Rush, CEO of CoinMarketCap. "Trust in that data should be demonstrated rather than claimed. Independent assessors have examined how we run security and privacy, and documented it in a form our partners and clients can review."
</blockquote>CoinMarketCap continues to expand its developer and enterprise business, including its market data APIs and agent-facing products. Compliance credentials are increasingly a prerequisite in those conversations rather than a differentiator, particularly for institutional clients whose own obligations require them to verify the controls of the vendors they rely on. CoinMarketCap plans to maintain and expand its assessment program.
