KuCoin said on Aug. 11 that it had obtained ISO 22301:2019 certification for its Business Continuity Management System, adding an uptime and disaster-recovery standard to a Trust Framework that already includes ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. The exchange announced the credential on X and presented it as a separate assurance layer focused on documented recovery procedures and recovery-time targets when systems or external dependencies fail, rather than on information security or control testing alone. The practical significance is clearest for KuCard, KuCoin's Visa debit card in Europe, because purchases draw on custodial exchange balances and convert crypto to fiat at checkout, making service availability a direct factor in whether transactions go through. The certification does not change fees, rewards, supported assets or regional availability, and it does not address solvency or remove the counterparty risk inherent in custodial products as KuCoin continues rebuilding its compliance posture after regulatory friction in markets including the Philippines and Ontario.
