What is Shift Markets’ SOC 2 status?

What is a SOC 2 Type 2 audit?

SOC 2 is an attestation framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It assesses how a service organization protects the systems and data it handles, measured against the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria.

A Type 1 report checks whether controls are designed properly at a single point in time. A Type 2 report goes further. An independent auditor tests whether those controls operated effectively over an extended period, typically between three and twelve months.

Shift Markets’ audit covered the full twelve months.

What does “zero exceptions” mean in a SOC 2 report?

An exception is an instance where the auditor finds that a control did not operate as described during testing. Zero exceptions means BPM found no such instances in any of the controls it tested across the audit period.

Why does SOC 2 matter when choosing a trading platform provider?

When a broker or exchange runs its business on third-party technology, that provider’s security becomes part of the operator’s own risk. Client funds, user data, and platform uptime all depend on controls the operator does not run directly.

Banks, payment partners, auditors, and regulators routinely ask operators to show how they assess third-party technology risk. A SOC 2 Type 2 report gives operators independent evidence they can hand to their own due diligence and compliance teams.

It also affects the build-versus-buy decision. A firm that builds its own trading infrastructure has to design, run, and evidence its own controls program before it can produce a report like this. Operators that go live on Shift Markets start with infrastructure that has been independently tested over a full year of operations.
