Recently, the BWA issued detailed guidelines focusing on safe trading practices and cybersecurity to improve consumer protection.

The Bharat Web3 Association is ushering India’s crypto industry into a new era of safety and transparency. Ashish Singhal, the CEO of CoinSwitch and a founding member of the BWA, is feeling honored and sees this as an opportunity to ensure the safety of crypto users in India.

Recently, the BWA issued detailed guidelines focusing on safe trading practices and cybersecurity to improve consumer protection. These guidelines have been created to cater to the increasing needs of the rapidly expanding crypto ecosystem in terms of handling digital assets securely.

The guidelines provided by the BWA address various critical areas of crypto operations, such as custody technology, exchange infrastructure, protection of customer data, and educating the users.

India's crypto ecosystem is evolving.

As a founding member of Bharat Web3 Association ( @BWA_Ind ), it's great to see us work towards a safer and transparent crypto ecosystem in India.

The overarching theme in the recommendations is Custody Technology and Operations, where custody implies a safe, effective way to manage digital assets. The association advises that custody involves using high levels of security techniques like multi-signature wallets, hardware security modules (HSMs), and multi-party computation (MPC) that can secure such assets against cyber risks. 

Furthermore, the policy emphasizes strong key management policies and the use of advanced encryption technology for user fund protection and the preservation of operation integrity.

BWA emphasizes the category of Exchange Technology and Operations, which includes security protocols such as web application firewalls (WAFs), DDoS protection, and identity and access management (IAM). It further suggests vulnerability testing and stress tests to make sure the crypto exchange is safe and the technology platform can withstand cyberattacks.

In guidelines , there is still the aspect of customer data protection that is implemented and encouraged on the use of data loss prevention systems and encryption technologies in ensuring private activities. This ties to the overall global best practice standards, like those offered by the ISO 27001 and the NIST framework, in the best approaches to taking cybersecurity.

Furthermore, the BWA stresses the importance of user education in making all stakeholders, from employees to customers, aware of the risks and best practices in cybersecurity. It suggests programs in phishing simulations and role-based security training to help foster a security-first culture across the industry.
