Moore Hong Kong and CertiK sign MOU to coordinate Web3 security, risk and assurance services. Moore Hong Kong and CertiK sign an MOU to explore integrated on-chain security, off-chain risk management and assurance services for Web3 and digital assets. Table of contents. * What the agreement covers * Why off-chain evidence matters * Executives on the partnership * The wider backdrop Moore Hong Kong and CertiK have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore coordinated services for companies in the Web3 and digital-asset sector. CertiK, a blockchain security firm, will contribute its blockchain and on-chain security capabilities. Moore Hong Kong, a professional-services firm, will contribute expertise in technology risk, corporate governance, assurance and institutional risk management. The firms aim to help clients take a more integrated approach to risks spanning blockchain technology and off-chain operational, governance and assurance considerations. The proposed collaboration brings together technical security expertise and professional risk-management capabilities, with the scope of each engagement dependent on individual client requirements. What the agreement covers. The MOU is a framework for exploring joint opportunities, not a product launch. The areas identified in the announcement include blockchain-security considerations, technology and cyber risk, governance and control frameworks, operational resilience, assurance readiness and risk-management practices. No fixed service package has been announced. Scope and deliverables will be set out in separate engagement terms, and any work will be subject to applicable professional, legal and regulatory requirements. The intended clients include Web3-native businesses, other participants in the digital-asset ecosystem and institutions pursuing opportunities involving blockchain technology. Why off-chain evidence matters. Kenneth Ma, Transaction Services Managing Director at Moore Hong Kong, said Hong Kong's framework for virtual assets, stablecoins and tokenisation is developing quickly, and operators increasingly need to demonstrate what happens off-chain as well as on-chain. "Hong Kong's framework for virtual assets, stablecoins and tokenization is developing quickly, and operators increasingly have to prove what happens off the chain as well as on it. A clean smart contract audit is only half the evidence. Regulators, banks and investors also expect sound custody and key-management controls, effective AML screening and a credible path to licensing. With CertiK securing the on-chain side and Moore Hong Kong providing off-chain assurance, clients can address both in one coordinated engagement, instead of managing separate providers." These considerations extend beyond smart-contract code. Custody and key-management controls concern how digital assets are held and how the keys authorising transactions are protected. Anti-money-laundering (AML) screening involves checking customers and transactions for potential risks, while licensing considerations depend on the regulatory requirements applicable to an operator and its activities. The proposed collaboration is intended to help clients address these different considerations through a more coordinated approach. The specific services and deliverables will depend on the requirements and scope of each engagement. Executives on the partnership. Kevin Lau, Director of IT & Cybersecurity at Moore Hong Kong, said organisations need to address more than technical vulnerabilities alone. "As the Web3 and digital-asset ecosystem continues to mature, organisations need to address more than technical vulnerabilities alone. Sustainable trust requires security to be supported by sound governance, robust risk management and credible assurance. Through our collaboration with CertiK, Moore Hong Kong is well positioned to help clients take a more integrated approach to managing on-chain and off-chain risks, strengthening resilience and confidence as they innovate and grow." Esme Pau, Head of Capital Markets and Policy at CertiK, said the partnership reflects the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to risk management. "Together, we are offering something the market has been waiting for: a single, coordinated engagement covering both on-chain and off-chain risk in one integrated scope. That is why I am particularly proud of what CertiK and Moore are building together. This is a recognition that Web3's future depends on trust - and trust requires rigorous, comprehensive risk management from every angle." The wider backdrop. The announcement identifies interconnected challenges for organisations in the Web3, digital-asset and tokenisation sectors, including technical resilience, blockchain and smart-contract security, governance, control frameworks, operational risk and stakeholder confidence. The firms said these issues need to be considered together rather than as isolated workstreams. The collaboration brings together the firms' respective areas of expertise. According to its company description, CertiK offers full-lifecycle risk-management services, including blockchain infrastructure assessments, smart-contract audits, formal verification, penetration testing, custody architecture reviews, system performance evaluation and compliance support. Moore Hong Kong provides professional services across areas including technology and cyber risk, governance, assurance, transaction services and business transformation.
