Elevating the Standard for Secure, Institutional-Grade Staking Infrastructure
Pier Two, a high-performance non-custodial staking provider trusted by institutions across Ethereum and Solana, commenced its three-month surveillance window for SOC 2 Type II on 10 March 2025, marking a major step forward in its commitment to system security and availability, process integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
The ongoing SOC 2 Type II audit involves continuous, independent monitoring of Pier Two’s systems and controls, building on a robust compliance foundation that already includes ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type I. With NORS certification anticipated in May 2025, Pier Two continues to strengthen its position as a trusted provider of compliant, institutional-grade staking infrastructure.
Building Infrastructure the Right Way
While SOC 2 Type I validates that controls and systems are properly designed at a point in time, SOC 2 Type II goes further, confirming those systems operate reliably over an extended period under real-world conditions.
From infrastructure uptime and change management to incident response and access controls, every core system at Pier Two will be tested over several months. The result is a clear signal to partners, custodians, and capital allocators: Pier Two’s staking infrastructure is not only secure, but provably so.
This certification, once achieved, reflects more than compliance, it reflects a philosophy. From day one, Pier Two has built its systems with auditability, discipline, and accountability at their core.
Pier Two’s current security and compliance posture includes:
Each step reflects Pier Two’s determination to meet the highest standards for clients operating in regulated and institutional environments.
A Staking Partner Built for Institutions
As the staking landscape matures, and as products like ETFs and institutional custody solutions integrate ETH and SOL staking, the demand for verifiable, compliant, and dependable validator infrastructure has never been higher.
Pier Two isn’t just keeping up with that shift. It’s helping define the path forward.
