CoinCover Certified provides an independent verification framework that confirms organisations meet operational standards for digital asset recovery and infrastructure security.
Independent certification for due diligence and audits
Ongoing governance evidence, including quarterly reviews
Why crypto compliance is important
Governance of wallet access
Compliance starts with clear ownership over who can access a wallet, under what conditions, and with what approvals. Institutions need defined roles, documented authority, and audit trails showing exactly who accessed keys, when, and why.
Security policies for private key management
How private keys are generated, stored, and encrypted is central to compliance. This includes decisions around hot and cold storage, encryption standards, and segregation of key material, all of which reduce the risk of a single point of failure.
Regulatory expectations for digital asset custodians
Frameworks such as UK FCA SYSC 4.1 and PRIN 10, EU MiCA, and EU DORA increasingly require custodians to demonstrate operational resilience, safeguard client assets, and maintain business continuity plans that specifically address digital asset recovery.
Operational recovery planning
Regulators increasingly expect institutions to prove they can recover access to digital assets if keys or key holders become unavailable, not just prevent loss in the first place. This means having a tested, documented recovery process rather than relying on ad hoc internal backups.
CoinCover Certified provides:
A signed business certification document, proving recovery readiness
User training certifications, proving operator readiness
An audit-ready recovery policy document, documenting end-to-end recovery workflows
Verified backup evidence via CoinCover Control
An annual recovery test certificate following a structured simulation
Evidenced quarterly review sessions

Why certification matters
What certification proves to regulators, auditors & investors
Recovery readiness
- CoinCover Certified indicates your recovery approach is secure, operationally resilient, and built to support continuity through incidents, access loss, or personnel changes.
Backup verified
- Your backup materials are confirmed to exist, protected, and usable. Certification demonstrates backups are created and maintained correctly, checked on a regular basis, and validated so recovery isn’t dependent on assumptions or outdated artefacts.
Governed access
- Roles, permissions, and approvals are clearly defined and consistently enforced. CoinCover Certified shows that access to recovery is controlled through governance, with the right checks in place to prevent unauthorised actions and reduce internal risk.
Tested & evidenced
- Your recovery has been exercised and documented with clear evidence and outcomes. Certification proves recovery is tested under controlled conditions, results are recorded, and gaps are identified and addressed

FAQs
What is CoinCover Certified?
CoinCover Certified is an independent certification that confirms your organisation's best practice when recovering access to digital assets, with documented processes, validated backups, trained operators, and tested recovery workflows.
Why do we need certification?
Regulators, auditors, partners, and customers increasingly expect evidence—not assurances that you can recover assets if something goes wrong. Certification gives you audit-ready proof.
What does the certification include?
You receive a signed Business Certification Document, operator training certificates, an audit-ready recovery policy, verified backup evidence, an annual recovery test certificate, and quarterly review documentation.
How often do we need to recertify?
Certification is renewed annually following a structured recovery simulation, with quarterly governance reviews to maintain readiness throughout the year.
Does certification require changes to our existing systems?
No. Certification is designed to work with your current custody and recovery setup. It validates and strengthens what you already have, and identifies any gaps.
How does certification help with audits?
It provides clear, structured evidence auditors can immediately rely on, reducing back-and-forth queries and supporting the audit process.
What standards does CoinCover Certified align with?
Certification aligns with the CMTA Digital Asset Custody Standard (DACS) Recovery Framework, recognised globally as a benchmark for digital asset recovery capability.
