Security & Compliance

Security and regulatory discipline behind every token

Custody, insurance and compliance are treated as one discipline at AssetGuard. Below is an overview of how each layer is structured to protect principals and their assets.

Custody Architecture

Layered protection for every digital asset

Custody infrastructure is designed around the principle that no single point of failure, technical or human, should be able to compromise a client asset.

  • Client assets held in segregated wallets, separate from operating capital
  • Majority of holdings secured in offline, geographically distributed cold storage
  • Multi signature and hardware security module protected key management
  • Independent, periodic audit of holdings and controls
  • Documented disaster recovery and business continuity procedures

Insurance Approach

Coverage that reflects real world and digital risk

Tokenised assets carry both the traditional risks of the underlying asset and the technical risks of the digital wrapper. Insurance is arranged to address both.

  • Crime and custody coverage against theft, fraud and loss
  • Technology and smart contract risk coverage
  • Underlying asset coverage appropriate to its class, such as property or marine cover
  • Policies arranged with specialist insurance underwriters and reviewed as valuations change
Regulatory Posture

Built with Dubai's regulatory environment in mind

AssetGuard's onboarding, custody and reporting processes are structured with reference to the frameworks that govern virtual assets and financial services in Dubai, including guidance from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

AML & KYC

Every principal and beneficial owner is verified before onboarding, with ongoing monitoring aligned to anti money laundering standards.

Documented Governance

Clear internal policy covering custody, insurance placement, conflicts of interest and client reporting.

Data Protection

Client information is handled under strict confidentiality, with access limited to those directly involved in a relationship.

A Note on Regulatory Status

Transparency on where we stand

Regulatory frameworks for tokenised real world assets in the UAE continue to evolve. AssetGuard's current licensing status, insurance partners and regulatory scope are disclosed in full, in writing, to every prospective client as part of onboarding, rather than asserted generally on this website. If regulatory status is material to your decision, please raise it directly with your relationship manager before any asset is placed on the platform.
