Custody control map

A practical map of the control domains we walk during digital asset audits—so risk and operations owners know what evidence we will ask for.

Professionals reviewing control documentation at a shared desk

Wallet inventory

Hot, warm, and cold wallets; custodians; chains; and which balances are client versus proprietary.

Authorisation paths

Who can initiate, approve, and broadcast transfers—and whether dual control holds in practice.

Key lifecycle

Generation, storage, rotation, recovery, and destruction—with ceremony packs and access reviews.

Segregation evidence

Ledger coding, bankruptcy-remoteness arrangements, and sampling that client pools stay identifiable.

Reconciliation calendar

Cut-offs, break classification, escalation owners, and whether unresolved items age beyond policy.

Exception handling

Failed transfers, stuck withdrawals, and emergency moves—logged, approved, and closed.

Engagements typically cover a subset of this map, agreed in the scoping note. Indicative fees appear on each service page; nothing is purchased through online checkout.
