Standard

Digital Asset Custody Standard

This standard sets the requirements for safekeeping and custody of crypto-assets and the means of access to them (private keys and equivalent credentials). It is a requirements document under the Crypto-Asset Governance Framework (crypto/framework-crypto-asset-governance.md), which names custody as a risk domain and a governance requirement and defers the detail here. It relates to, and does not duplicate, the organization's cryptographic key controls in the security domain; key-lifecycle mechanics live there and this standard adds only the custody-specific requirements.
