Cloud Security Alliance
CSA STAR Certification & Assessment Services
We support organisations in validating their cloud security posture through structured assessments aligned with the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) STAR framework.
Understanding CSA STAR
CSA STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance and Risk) is a globally recognised cloud assurance framework developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). It helps organisations demonstrate transparency and accountability in managing cloud security and privacy controls.
Built on standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), CSA STAR validates how effectively cloud services manage security, governance, operational resilience, and risk through the public STAR Registry.
