Expert Advice

Anton Kharitonov
Chief Analytics Officer
  • Examine internal controls and personnel practices
    Strong internal governance reduces insider risk. I check whether exchanges describe segregation of duties, background checks for staff in custody and ops, and role-based access controls. Good controls include separate teams for operations and audits, multi-party approvals for key operations, and strict change-management processes. Public documentation of governance (board oversight, security leadership, incident-response teams) indicates an organisation that treats security holistically, rather than an engineering team that’s solely firefighting day-to-day incidents.
