12.1 SOC 2 Type II Compliance

Bitscale maintains a security and compliance program aligned with the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 framework established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

Bitscale has successfully completed a SOC 2 Type II examination, validating the design and operational effectiveness of our controls over a defined audit period.

Our SOC 2 Type II report evaluates controls related to the Trust Services Criteria, including:

• Security
• Availability
• Confidentiality
• Processing Integrity (as applicable)
• Privacy (as applicable)

A SOC 2 Type II examination assesses not only the design of controls, but also their effectiveness over time, demonstrating that our security practices are consistently implemented and monitored.

This independent third-party audit covers key areas such as:

• Access control and authentication
• Change management procedures
• Infrastructure and network security
• System monitoring and incident response
• Data protection and encryption practices
• Vendor and risk management controls

Access to SOC 2 Type II Report

Bitscale's SOC 2 Type II report is available to enterprise customers and prospective enterprise clients under appropriate confidentiality terms.
