Crypto Compliance Services

Hacken's Crypto Compliance Services help organizations achieve and maintain compliance with cryptocurrency security standards and regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. The service combines CCSS certification support, DORA compliance expertise, and VARA licensing assistance to ensure organizations meet both industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

CCSS Certification

As a C4 certified auditor, Hacken helps organizations achieve CCSS (Cryptocurrency Security Standard) certification to demonstrate adherence to industry security best practices. The audit assesses organizations against CCSS requirements across three security levels, examining key management, wallet operations, policy controls, and operational security.

DORA Compliance

Hacken translates EU Digital Operational Resilience Act requirements into actionable controls, evidence collection, and fast remediation. DORA establishes requirements for ICT risk management, incident reporting, resilience testing, and third-party risk management for financial entities and crypto asset service providers.

VARA Compliance

Hacken helps organizations operate confidently in Dubai's regulated virtual asset market. VARA establishes comprehensive requirements for virtual asset service providers operating in Dubai, covering licensing, governance, technology, and security standards. Hacken leverages its relationship with UAE regulators to provide informed guidance on VARA licensing applications and ongoing compliance obligations.
