Key takeaways:
Binance’s operations in Brazil, through Sim;paul, obtained ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications for information security and privacy management.
The certifications were granted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) after an independent audit of internal policies, operational controls, and governance systems.
This milestone reflects Binance’s global efforts to ensure the highest standards of user protection, privacy, and responsible growth in key markets.
Binance Brasil obtained two globally recognized certifications for its privacy and security programs, marking another important step in our commitment to protect users and strengthen trust in the largest economy in Latin America.
ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications were awarded to Sim;paul, Binance’s authorized operation in Brazil, by the BSI following an independent audit. The assessment reviewed internal policies, operational controls, and related governance systems for information security and privacy management.
These certifications provide external validation that Binance Brasil operates in accordance with rigorous international standards for the protection of information and personal data, as well as for maintaining strong security governance.
Raising the bar for user protection in Brazil
As the cryptocurrency market continues to mature, confidence in this space is built not only through product innovation, but also through consistent investment in security, privacy, compliance, and operational resilience. Certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 help make these commitments measurable.
ISO/IEC 27001 is one of the world’s leading standards for information security management systems. It sets requirements to identify, manage, and reduce information security risks through a structured framework of controls and processes.
ISO/IEC 27701 extends this framework to privacy management, with specific controls on how organizations handle personal data. Together, the two standards cover a wide range of security and privacy domains, from access controls and risk management to data protection governance.
Binance Brasil’s achievement of these certifications reflects the continued maturation of our local operations, as well as our focus on offering users a platform they can trust.
“These certifications reflect a commitment that permeates Binance globally and here in Brazil,” said Thiago Sarandy, Binance’s Managing Director in Brazil. “They represent external validation that our users in Brazil are protected by rigorous, audited privacy and information security standards.”
Part of a global security strategy
The milestone in Brazil is part of Binance’s global security and compliance strategy. Similar certifications have already been obtained in other major markets, including France, Japan, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Thailand, and Kazakhstan.
Across all our global operations, we continue investing in systems, people, and governance structures designed to protect users and support sustainable growth in the digital assets ecosystem. This includes strong authentication measures, encryption protocols, privacy controls, cyber defense capabilities, and continuous review of security and operational processes.
Jimmy Su, Binance’s Global Vice President of Security, said that the certifications are an important achievement, but also part of an ongoing process. “We’re proud of what this represents, but we see it as a starting point, not a finish line,” he said. “Our job is to keep earning users’ trust every day, strengthening the security and privacy governance needed to support the growth of this sector.”
The certification process follows a three-year cycle and is conducted by an accredited independent auditor. This means that maintaining the certification requires ongoing adherence to the relevant standards over time, not just a one-time assessment.
Closing remarks
Binance Brasil’s ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications mark another step in our long-term program to strengthen user protection, privacy, and responsible growth.
As the digital assets ecosystem continues to evolve, earning and maintaining trust will remain one of the sector’s most important priorities, and Binance will continue investing in audited standards, robust governance, and secure infrastructure that can support the next phase of Web3 adoption in Brazil and other countries.
