We are pleased to announce that Crystal has been awarded the ISO 27001:2022 cybersecurity accreditation after a thorough independent audit by the ISO-affiliated British Standards Institute (BSI).
This accreditation reflects Crystal’s commitment to implementing the necessary controls for information security management systems in line with global best practices, giving clients confidence that their data is properly protected at the highest standard.
ISO 27001 specifically addresses information security, cybersecurity, and privacy protection, making it a crucial tool in combating cyber threats, particularly in the crypto industry, which is at the coalface of fighting new and emerging criminal typologies.
ISO, a non-governmental organization established 77 years ago, focuses on developing international standards for various industries with the input of industry experts.
With over 170 members, it has created more than 25,000 standards aimed at improving lives and ensuring safety.
BSI, founded in 1901, serves as the UK’s national standards body. For over a century, it has been promoting knowledge, innovation, and best practices worldwide. BSI has clients in over 150 countries and caters to a diverse range of businesses.
Crystal is committed to combating financial and cybercrime by implementing the ISO 27001 standard in partnership with ISO and BSI.
With the ISO 27001 accreditation, our clients can be assured of the best security.
“This certification is a great achievement that underscores Crystal’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards in information security management systems and ensuring our clients’ safety,” said Nicholas Smart, Crystal’s Director of Intelligence.
Nick highlighted that this recognition coincided with Crystal’s receipt of awards from the Counter Narcotics Department of the National Police of Ukraine for their exceptional data support and tracing of crypto transactions related to the drug market.
