We’re pleased to announce that Fireblocks is the first organization ever to have a system certified under Version 9.0 of the CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS), the most current version of the standard, released in December 2024.
The certified system includes:
Fireblocks' system attained Level 3 certification as a Qualified Service Provider (QSP) - the highest attainable level - after undergoing a rigorous audit.
Why this matters: This certification shows that Fireblocks has implemented strong controls for managing and securing key material across its system, in line with the latest CCSS requirements.
Version 9.0 includes several important updates to the standard, and it builds on the strong foundation of earlier versions. Systems certified under v8.1 remain valid and have also demonstrated a high level of security through independent audit.
Shoutout to CCSSA Marc Krisjanous for another successful audit, CCSSA Phillip Moran, CFA for a successful peer review, and the Fireblocks team for setting the bar for what secure, independently-audited key management should look like under the version 9.0 of the CCSS.
As a reminder, this does not verify that another system which uses Fireblocks is CCSS certified at any level. Any third party who uses Fireblocks’ system must be audited for compliance in the areas where Fireblocks does not have control and certified (or not) in an audit for their cryptocurrency system.
Congratulations to the Fireblocks team on this industry-leading achievement!
