The easiest way to scale your digital asset business

Security

Hardware Security Modules (HSM’s), Personal Security Devices (PSD), the Secure Channel, BOLOS (Ledger’s security operating system), and hierarchical deterministic derivation are five fundamental components underpinning the security of the Vault Platform.

With Ledger Vault, private keys and governance rules are sealed in a HSM that generates the transaction/signature. Ledger is pursuing relevant security methodologies to certify the Ledger Vault. As such, we completed the System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 examination.

Governance

The governance framework relies on permission management and access controls which can be tailored to fit various business processes and needs.
Every user confirms their actions with a personal security device running the Vault application.
A secure channel is created between the device and the HSM in order to ensure strong authentication.

Whitelisting

With Ledger Vault, you can create and manage trusted address lists within the Ledger Vault platform.
You can build custom approval flows with trusted counter-parties to fast-track your transactions and increase security, while limiting daily operational risks.
These whitelists can be linked to an account to ensure transactions are sent to these addresses only.

Conditional Flows

Our solution allows platform administrators to introduce different levels of approval processes depending on the condition that triggers them.
From configuring multiple authorizations, to thresholds, to whitelists, your needs are covered.
For example, if a transaction amount below a specific threshold is requested, the HSM may only require a quorum of approval from the back office team, but if the transaction is above a specific threshold, the HSM may require additional approval from the compliance team or from a group of users in a different geographic location.

Insurance

Ledger has obtained a pooled customized crime insurance program insuring crypto-assets for up to $150 million for the Vault Platform led by the prestigious Arch UK Lloyds of London syndicate.
