What is the CCSS designed for?

The CryptoCurrency Security Standard (CCSS) is designed for systems that store, manage, or interact with cryptocurrency and digital assets.

These systems are commonly operated by organizations such as exchanges, custodians, wallet providers, mining operations, OTC desks, payment processors, investment firms, and other businesses responsible for protecting digital assets.

CCSS focuses on the security of the system itself, including areas such as key management, operational procedures, access controls, backups, audits, and governance processes.

The standard applies to a wide range of environments, from smaller startups building new infrastructure to large organizations managing significant amounts of digital assets. It provides a structured, measurable framework for improving the security of cryptocurrency systems and operations.
