Shares of the Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency company Diginex (NASDAQ: EQOS) traded as much as 14% higher earlier this morning after the company announced that it had been awarded a key security certification.
The company, which runs a cryptocurrency exchange called EQUOS, received the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) information security certification, ISO/IEC 27001:2013.
The certification goes to companies that show commitment to a strict set of information security standards and that follow an exhaustive audit of systems, policies, and processes that protect clients, while preserving and tracking how data across the organization is used. Diginex, which recently rebranded to EQONEX Group, is the first U.S. cryptocurrency company to obtain the certification.
