Robust security
Security is in our DNA. Our number one priority is to protect you, your money, and your information. Security is built into our systems and culture.
State-of-the art security
Security is in our DNA. We obsess about it. Our top priority is to protect you, your money, and your information. Spiral is a community. We enforce stringent security standards across our platform - and continually educate our customers on the important role they have to play.
Access and Encryption
We deploy layered defenses to limit the scope and depth of potential attacks, as well as sophisticated encryption.
Auditing & Testing
Security professionals routinely conduct security audits and penetration testing of our systems.
3rd Party Due Diligence
All our providers undergo appropriate due diligence checks. Special attention is paid to integrations incorporating sensitive data.
Personnel Standards
The Spiral team are background checked by an accredited vendor. Mandatory security and privacy training is conducted regularly.
24/7 Overwatch
The Spiral Security Operations Centre monitors systems year-round and responds immediately to any detected threat.
Bug Bounty Program
If you've found a security vulnerability in our platform, please report it to us via our public BugBounty program for a reward.
We only accept reports within the scope defined through our program.
We apply these and other security measures to protect you and your funds.
Verify Yourself
Verifying your identity helps to keep your transactions secure.
Strong Password
We maintain strong password requirements. We'll also do email verification if we detect anything untoward. If we detect unusual activity, we'll send you an email to verify it is you.
Enable authentication
We give you an extra layer of security by enabling you to authenticate from a new device.
Scams and Phishing
Scams are designed to give bad actors access to your funds. They often involve someone passing as a legitimate contact with whom you do business.
Using Your Device in a Public Place
Never leave your device unattended in a public place while you're logged in, and try to avoid public Wi-Fi. Never access or change your personal information in a public space. Always log out of your Spiral account.
A Secure Connection
Make sure you use a secure internet connection when you access Spiral. Look out for the “https” at the beginning of the website address, as well as the padlock security symbol in the browser frame.
Your Computer
You should install effective antivirus and anti-spy software, as well as turn on a firewall. Always ensure they are running when you use your computer.
Total Transparency. By Design.
Spiral's numerous patent-pending and proprietary technologies - including the Reserveledger™ and Reservechain™- vetted by regular independent audits, allow you to verify our obligations, transaction flows, assets, and solvency. At any time, you can confirm our reserve holdings and ensure that your funds are safe. See for yourself below.

Data & Privacy.
Spiral is passionately committed to securing customer accounts and protecting our customers' privacy and data at all times. Spiral has created technology to adhere to local, state, federal, and international law to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and any personal data collected from our customers is done in accordance with the highest industry standards.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard PCI/DSS
PCI/DSS is a set of requirements created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB), designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Its primary focus is to improve payment account security throughout the transaction process and it is administered and managed by an independent body, the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.
Spiral is a pioneer in our space when it comes to the security of our consumers: we are one of the first companies working with digital currencies to become certified to PCI/DSS, one of the most stringent security standards in the industry. Being compliant means that we are doing our very best to keep our members' valuable information secure and out of the hands of people who could use that data in a fraudulent way.
