Everstake Achieves SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR Compliance to Enhance Institutional-Level Security

[PRESS RELEASE – Miami, FL, May 29th, 2025]

Everstake, a prominent global provider of non-custodial staking solutions for both individual and institutional clients, has successfully obtained certifications for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This accomplishment underscores the company’s dedication to upholding top-tier security and regulatory benchmarks. The assessment was performed by Prescient Security, a recognized authority in the cybersecurity field.

Security and compliance are often viewed as significant hurdles for institutional investors considering staking, with over 61% expressing willingness to invest more for guaranteed protection. Everstake’s newly acquired certifications tackle these issues head-on, confirming that its infrastructure adheres to the highest international standards for security and data safeguarding, while remaining accessible to a broad audience.

The SOC 2 Type II certification affirms that Everstake maintains exceptional operational integrity, confidentiality of data, and availability of systems. Unlike the Type I audit, SOC 2 Type II entails an ongoing assessment of systems, positioning it as one of the most demanding benchmarks in enterprise-level cybersecurity.

The audit by Prescient Security affirmed that Everstake’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) aligns with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 guidelines, showcasing the organization’s maturity, continuous improvement, and its capacity to protect client information, mitigate risks, and maintain operational durability.

Additionally, GDPR compliance ensures that Everstake complies with stringent data privacy measures, fostering confidence among users in the European Union, European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom.

“Achieving the SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 certifications along with GDPR compliance represents a major achievement for Everstake and reflects our dedication to providing institutional-level security and transparency,” stated Bohdan Opryshko, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer at Everstake. “Investors in institutions require superior protection when staking assets, and these certifications assure them that Everstake adheres to globally acknowledged security standards.”

“By obtaining SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance, Everstake showcases a formidable commitment to security and risk management. These frameworks necessitate rigorous testing and validation of our internal controls, guaranteeing that our systems conform to the highest standards of operational integrity and data security. This proactive stance enhances our security posture and facilitates the broader adoption of staking among institutions by addressing regulatory and compliance needs. Our team is dedicated to continuous monitoring and improvement of controls while adhering to industry best practices to set new benchmarks for secure and compliant staking services,” remarked Denys Avierin, Chief Information Officer at Everstake.
