Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 29th, 2026
Bybit said it has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit conducted by Deloitte, marking an independent verification of the exchange's controls over security and operational resilience. The company framed the achievement as part of an ongoing effort to reinforce protections for users and to provide external assurance of its risk-management practices.
What the audit covers
SOC 2 Type II is an assurance standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The report provides an internationally recognized evaluation of whether an organization’s security and operational safeguards are designed and operate effectively over a defined review period. According to Bybit, the audit addressed whether the company’s governance, technical measures, processes and personnel operated in a coordinated fashion to translate strategic security objectives into day-to-day responsibilities.
Bybit described management oversight as a driver of consistent execution, saying leadership expectations support security priorities being reflected across daily operations. The audit, the company said, evaluated the effectiveness of controls implemented to support those objectives throughout the review period.
Intended benefits for stakeholders
Bybit said the SOC 2 Type II report supports its efforts to strengthen trust among three principal stakeholder groups:
- Users - the audit provides independent validation that measures are in place to protect sensitive information and to deliver reliable services.
- Institutional clients and partners - the report is intended to offer clearer insight into Bybit’s security and risk-management posture to inform due diligence and decision-making.
- Compliance obligations - undergoing an independent SOC 2 Type II review is presented as evidence that Bybit is acting on its compliance commitments by adhering to recognized assurance criteria and submitting to third-party verification.
How this fits with other certifications
Bybit noted the SOC 2 Type II report complements its ISO/IEC 27001 certification and PCI DSS compliance validation. The company characterized these assessments as offering distinct viewpoints that together create a more complete perspective on information security, data protection and operational reliability. Bybit also said it will continue to maintain these standards and apply findings from independent assessments to guide future improvements.
Ongoing commitment and operational focus
Management, Bybit stated, expects the organization to remain accountable to demanding security standards. That expectation, the company said, is embedded across the business so that protecting users becomes a shared and enduring priority. As services and customer requirements evolve, Bybit indicated it will use independent reviews to inform the ongoing strengthening of security capabilities.

The company says it integrates investing, trading, payments and wealth-building tools within a single platform, and cites AI-driven technology, global liquidity and security as pillars of its offering.
