CSA STAR Certification

The CSA STAR Program is designed to assess and certify the security posture of cloud service providers (CSPs). The program includes a rigorous, independent evaluation of a CSP’s security controls. Achieving certification requires meeting all of the program requirements and passing an independent audit conducted by a certified third-party auditor.

The CSA STAR Program provides a way for CSPs to demonstrate their commitment to security and trustworthiness to their customers. The program’s certification badge can be displayed on a CSP’s website and marketing materials, providing an easy way for customers to identify CSPs that have achieved a high level of security assurance.

CSA Star Checklist

To achieve CSA STAR Certification, a CSP must first complete the self-assessment questionnaire. This questionnaire is designed to help CSPs evaluate their security controls and identify any areas that need improvement. The questionnaire covers 14 key security domains, including asset management, identity and access management, incident response, and security monitoring.

Once the self-assessment is complete, the CSP must submit their results to an independent third-party auditor for review. The auditor will verify that the CSP’s security controls meet all of the requirements for certification. If the auditor finds any deficiencies, the CSP must correct them before they can be certified.

The CSA STAR Program is voluntary, but many customers view certification as a valuable way to ensure that their CSP is serious about security. In addition, some government procurement programs require CSPs to be certified in order to be eligible for contract bids.
