Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 29, 2026 — Chainwire

Bybit, the New Financial Platform trusted by more than 80 million users worldwide, has announced the successful completion of its SOC 2 Type II audit, conducted independently by Deloitte. The independent audit underscores the company's long-term commitment and continued investment in providing secure, reliable, and resilient digital asset services.

Holding Security to High Global Standards

SOC 2 Type II delivers rigorous, internationally recognized independent assurance over an organization's security and operational safeguards. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the framework is regarded by leading financial institutions and global enterprises as a trusted benchmark for security governance, operational resilience, and the protection of sensitive information.

Unlike a Type I assessment, which evaluates the design of controls at a single point in time, a Type II report examines whether those controls operated effectively across an extended review period — a distinction that makes the Type II report the more comprehensive of the two attestation levels. Completing the SOC 2 Type II audit therefore marks an important milestone for Bybit, providing independent assurance of its security and risk-management capabilities. The company's security framework brings together governance, technology, processes, and people, translating strategic security objectives into clear responsibilities and coordinated action across the organization. Management oversight supports consistent execution, ensuring that security priorities are reflected in daily decisions and operations. The audit assessed whether the measures supporting these objectives operated effectively throughout the review period.

The achievement reflects the commitment of Bybit's leadership to holding the organization accountable to demanding security. That expectation extends across the company, making user protection a shared and lasting priority at every level.

Building Trust with Users and Partners

According to the announcement, the report supports Bybit's ongoing efforts to earn the trust of users and partners across three key areas:

• Reinforcing users' trust: demonstrating Bybit's commitment to protecting sensitive information and delivering reliable services through independent validation of its security capabilities.
• Increasing transparency: giving institutional clients and partners a clearer view of Bybit's security and risk management to support informed decisions and due diligence.
• Upholding compliance standards: putting Bybit's compliance commitments into action through adherence to established assurance criteria and undergoing independent review.

Across the financial services industry, SOC 2 reports are a standard input in vendor risk assessments, and institutional participants frequently request them when evaluating the service providers they depend on. For digital asset platforms operating at global scale, independent validation of internal controls offers a form of assurance that internal policies alone cannot convey.

Strengthening Security and Compliance

The SOC 2 Type II report complements Bybit's existing ISO/IEC 27001 certification and PCI DSS compliance validation. Together, these achievements demonstrate the company's commitment to meeting demanding international standards across information security, data protection, and operational reliability. Each assessment brings a distinct perspective, contributing to a more comprehensive view of security.

Because a SOC 2 Type II report covers a defined review window, organizations commonly pursue the audit on a recurring cycle, with successive reports showing whether control performance is sustained over time. Bybit said it will maintain these standards and continue strengthening its security capabilities as its services and customers' needs evolve, using insights from independent assessments to guide further improvements. The company remains committed to putting users first and upholding high standards of security and compliance across its global platform.
