CASP/VASP сompliance is non-negotiable
Global regulatory landscape for crypto-assets is no longer the Wild West – it's a complex web of evolving frameworks.
MiCA in the EU, DORA’s stringent financial entity rules, VARA in Dubai, BMA in Bermuda, SFC in Hong Kong, and others are imposing critical security controls, mandatory audits, and firm deadlines.
Staying ahead isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about securing your operations, protecting your users, and unlocking market access. Non-compliance isn't an option – it risks licences, reputation, and market viability.

CASP/VASP Compliance FAQs
Both labels refer to businesses that handle crypto or “virtual” assets for customers. The core security and AML expectations largely overlap, but the regulator, legal scope, and licence names differ by jurisdiction. If you’re targeting the EU, you must be a CASP under MiCA (and meet DORA if classified as a financial entity). Outside the EU, supervisors typically badge you as a VASP and map requirements to FATF guidance plus local rulebooks.
Absolutely. This is precisely what our CASP/VASP Compliance programme is designed for. We create a unified master control catalogue that maps requirements from all relevant regulations (MiCA, VARA, DORA, SFC, BMA, ISO 27001, CCSS, etc.) to your specific operations. This eliminates redundant work and ensures comprehensive coverage efficiently.
The timeline varies based on your current compliance maturity, the complexity of your operations, and the specific licences/certifications you're targeting. However, our 4-Step Journey is designed for efficiency. After the initial Readiness Assessment (Step 1), we provide you with a detailed 12-month strategic roadmap, including projected timelines for key milestones. Our sprint-based delivery ensures steady progress.
We aim to lift the heaviest burdens, but collaboration is key. Your team's primary involvement will be during the initial Readiness Assessment (providing information and access) and for approving implemented changes. We handle the bulk of the documentation, technical testing, remediation guidance, and direct liaison with regulators. Our goal is to let you focus on your core business while we manage the compliance complexities.
Yes. Our Readiness Assessment will take into account any existing controls, documentation, or audit findings you already have. We'll identify gaps, validate existing work, and integrate it into the overall Compliance programme to avoid duplication and build on your progress.
Our pricing is transparent and tailored to the specific scope of your needs – the frameworks you need to comply with, the complexity of your technical environment, and the current state of your security posture. After the initial Readiness Assessment, we provide a clear, predictable budget and fixed milestones. Contact us for a personalized consultation and quote.
