Regulatory Landscape for Digital Assets

The digital assets sector faces an increasingly complex and mandatory regulatory environment. The EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), fully applicable from December 2024, establishes licensing requirements for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) across the EU — with explicit cybersecurity, operational resilience, and governance obligations that ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 directly address.

MiCA Compliance — Key Requirements

  • Robust ICT risk management systems (directly satisfied by ISO 27001 ISMS)
  • Business continuity and disaster recovery plans (ISO 22301)
  • Operational incident reporting to competent authorities
  • Custody and safeguarding of client assets with documented controls
  • Anti-money laundering (AML) and KYC compliance integration

Certifications for Crypto & Web3 Organisations

  • ISO/IEC 27001 — Foundational information security management; required by MiCA and by institutional and B2B partners.
  • ISO 22301 — Business Continuity; required by MiCA Article 72 and addressed in DORA for CASPs qualifying as financial entities.
  • GDPR — All EU-operating CASPs processing personal data must comply; ISO 27701 provides the documented accountability framework.
  • SOC 2 — Required for US-listed token offerings, US institutional custody partnerships, and Nasdaq/NYSE-listed digital asset companies.

BALTUM MiCA Readiness Programme
