Kalshi is pleased to share the news that its affiliated clearinghouse, Kalshi Klear, has completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type II Audit. This milestone reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of security compliance.

What is SOC 2 Type II and Why It Matters

The SOC 2 audit is one the highest recognized standards of information security compliance in the world. It was developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) to allow a third-party auditor to validate a service company’s internal controls with respect to information security, including policies, procedures, and technical infrastructure, ensuring that these measures align with established cybersecurity best practices. For financial clearinghouses and fintech platforms, SOC 2 compliance is crucial for maintaining customer trust, ensuring regulatory compliance, and protecting sensitive financial data.

Kalshi Klear’s Security Controls and Procedures

We obtained our audited SOC 2 Report by partnering with Johanson Group who respectively reviewed our internal controls including policies, procedures, and infrastructure regarding data security, firewall configurations, change management, logical access, backup management, business continuity and disaster recovery, security incident response, and other critical areas of our business. These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to implementing and maintaining a robust, risk-based security framework designed to meet or exceed industry expectations.

Building Trust Through Continuous Improvement

Thanks to a company-wide effort, and with the help of our trusted partners Johanson Group and Vanta, we successfully achieved SOC 2 compliance and received an Auditor’s Report demonstrating that our policies, procedures, and infrastructure meet or exceed the SOC 2 criteria.
