Everstake Expands Compliance with NIST CSF and CCPA

Trust is still the rarest currency in crypto.

That’s why Everstake continues to strengthen its security and compliance foundation, adding NIST CSF 2.0 alignment and CCPA compliance to its existing SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and GDPR certifications. All assessments were independently conducted by Prescient Security, a global leader in cybersecurity assurance.

This makes Everstake the only staking company to meet all five institutional-grade standards, proving that blockchain infrastructure can operate with the same rigor and assurance as traditional finance.

Independent NIST CSF Audit Confirms Advanced Maturity

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is considered the global reference for how organizations identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats. Unlike certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001, NIST doesn’t issue a pass/fail verdict. It evaluates how systematically cybersecurity risk is governed and improved.

Everstake achieved a Cybersecurity Maturity Score of 4.16, placing it in the “Optimized” tier, a level reached by only around 4% of organizations worldwide.

“Achieving a NIST Cybersecurity Maturity Score of 4.16 reflects the depth, consistency, and forward-thinking nature of Everstake’s security program,” said Denys Avierin, CIO at Everstake. “This result confirms that our controls are not only fully aligned with the NIST CSF 2.0 framework but are operationally optimized and continuously improved to meet the highest institutional expectations. We don’t simply follow compliance requirements—we advance them, setting a new standard for trust, resilience, and innovation in institutional-grade staking.”

Extending Data Protection with CCPA Compliance

In parallel, Everstake has achieved full compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Together with GDPR, this builds a privacy framework that covers both European and U.S. users, ensuring transparency, data minimization, and clear user rights across jurisdictions.

“Being the first staking company to reach SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, and NIST CSF compliance further cements Everstake’s role in setting the industry benchmark for institutional-grade security,” said David Kinitsky, CEO at Everstake. “By aligning with global best practices across security, privacy, and risk management, Everstake ensures that institutional partners can rely on staking services that meet standards comparable to those used in the traditional financial sector.”

A Five-Pillar Foundation for Institutional-Grade Staking

Everstake’s certifications now form a comprehensive assurance framework:

• SOC 2 Type II — verifies ongoing effectiveness of internal controls.
• ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — formalizes information security management practices.
• NIST CSF 2.0 — drives adaptive cybersecurity governance and maturity.
• GDPR & CCPA — ensure user privacy and data protection across regions.

Together, they establish Everstake as the industry benchmark for security, transparency, and reliability, ensuring that institutional partners can engage with staking knowing every layer of governance has been independently verified.Learn more about our compliance and cybersecurity standards at security.everstake.one/compliance.
