In fact, we can go as far as saying that safeguarding your funds as well as your privacy is our prime objective.

Our team of security experts have built and continue to monitor all avenues when it comes to preventing information breaches or the theft of money. As a leading cryptocurrency exchange, we provide all our clients with the financial stability they’re looking for, and this also requires the highest standards of legal compliance when it comes to dealing with anyone who wants to buy or sell cryptocurrencies.

Coin Storage Security

Coin storage isn’t something that should be overlooked, and so we’ve decided to do things a little different when compared to other cryptocurrency exchanges. Instead of storing everything online, we’ve chosen to store 99% of all deposits offline. “Is that safe?” you say? Yes, it’s super-safe. You see, we store these deposits in air-gapped storage, which is also chilled to minus four degrees celsius, 24.8 fahrenheit.As a cryptocurrency exchange, we also keep full reserves plus a further ten percent, and we do this so that when it comes to you selling a cryptocurrency such as bitcoin or Ethereum through our exchange, you can always withdraw your fiat amount immediately.

Ultimate Crypto Exchange Platform Security

As Rakiku is a cryptocurrency exchange, we use our state of the art platform to process buy and sell orders from all our customers. To ensure that the security surrounding our platform remains at optimum levels, we’ve based the servers our platform sits on in secure cages. All our servers are under strict 24/7 surveillance, and they are guarded by armed guards. We also use a Mobotix security camera system, which is a best-in-class and award-winning security video monitoring system. All physical access to our servers, which includes code deployment is strictly controlled, logged, and monitored. When it comes to our servers, you can have the peace of mind that everything at Rakiku is under control, 24/7.

Hack Prevention Penetration Testing

As we are a cryptocurrency exchange that’s used by buyers and sellers of cryptocurrencies throughout the world, we have to remain vigilant when it comes to cyber attacks. To marginalise all cyber attacks, we have created a dedicated Penetration Testing team whose job it is to test our own platform and systems against possible attacks. It’s their job to fire every imaginable attack vector against the Rakiku Platform as well as against our own internal systems. We use the award-winning Acunetix security testing solution for securing every system that’s online.

Our new Penetration Testing team is hard at work at detecting all sorts of vulnerabilities, which includes SQL injections, XSS, misconfigurations, weak passwords, exposed databases, and out-of-band vulnerabilities. Once again, you can have the complete peace of mind that we are doing everything possible to ensure the protection of all our systems.
