The importance of SOC 2 Type 2 certification

‍

SOC 2 Type 2 certification provides an assurance to our users that Portal has implemented and adheres to strict security controls, policies, and procedures when handling confidential user information. It verifies that we have a reliable system in place to identify and manage security risks, and that our platform is available, secure, and operates with integrity.

‍

Keeping our users’ assets and data secure is our top priority and a critical part of successfully participating in the web3 ecosystem. Anyone interacting with wallets created by Portal must trust our platform is equipped to safeguard their valuable assets. This type of certification can provide our users with peace of mind that our systems are designed to keep them safe.

As web3 expands and evolves and begins to transform every industry, cyber threats and attacks will inevitably increase. According to the CipherTrace report, in the first five months of 2021, there were more than $432 million in losses due to DeFi-related hacks and scams; in 2020, total losses were $129 million. It is essential for everyone involved with web3 tech to recognize the importance of security and discipline in order to mitigate against these risks.

‍

At Portal, we are committed to the highest level of data and asset security. SOC 2 Type 2 certification is an essential step to achieving this goal.
