CSA CCM

Cloud Controls Matrix

Community Global Cloud Security Alliance Since 2010

A cloud-specific control framework of nearly two hundred control objectives across seventeen domains, with a shared responsibility model that says which controls belong to the provider and which to the customer.

The companion CAIQ questionnaire and the public STAR registry are what make it operationally useful: for most major cloud services, the answers already exist and can be diffed rather than requested.
