We’ve Just Hit a Big Milestone in Keeping Your Crypto & Data Safe

At Bamboo, keeping you safe is our top priority. That’s why we’re excited to share some big news: we’ve officially achieved our SOC 2 Type 1 certification.

This isn’t the kind of thing most people Google in their spare time. So let’s break it down in plain English (without putting you to sleep)...

So, what is SOC 2?

SOC stands for System and Organisation Controls. In plain English, it’s a globally recognised audit that checks if a company has proper systems in place to protect your data and run things reliably.

SOC 2 specifically looks at five key areas, called the Trust Services Criteria:

  • Security: Are we protecting against unauthorised access?
  • Availability: Is our platform reliable and online when you need it?
  • Processing Integrity: Is your data handled accurately?
  • Confidentiality: Is sensitive info properly protected?
  • Privacy: Are we following best practices with personal data?

For our Type 1 certification, we’ve shown that the systems and controls we’ve put in place meet those high standards.

Why it matters to you

You trust Bamboo to help you build your crypto savings effortlessly and it’s our job to make sure that trust is earned every single day.

You might not see it day to day, but behind the scenes, a lot goes into making Bamboo work and keeping it safe.

Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 means:

✅ We’ve passed an independent deep dive audit of our platform’s security and reliability

✅ Our internal systems are designed to protect your data and crypto to a globally recognised standard

✅ We’re committed to doing things by the book (and then some) when it comes to your data and money.

In short, it’s proof that we’re not just saying your data is safe, we’ve also had that claim independently verified.

It’s not just about compliance, it’s about confidence

At Bamboo, our goal is to make crypto saving simple, accessible, and trustworthy—especially for beginners. That means doing the work to keep things secure, even when it’s not flashy or fun.

We don’t just want to keep up with best practices we want to set the bar. Because when it comes to your money and data, nothing matters more than peace of mind.

What’s next? SOC 2 Type 2

Now that we’ve locked in our SOC 2 Type 1 certification, we’re already working toward the next big goal: SOC 2 Type 2.

Type 2 takes things even further. It doesn’t just check that we’ve designed the right systems, it checks that they’re actually working over time, consistently and reliably. 

That’s where we’re headed next, and we’ll keep you posted along the way.

The bottom line

This certification is a big step but it’s just one of many we’re taking to build a safer, smarter Bamboo.
