CSA STAR Certification for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs)

No organization is immune from information security risk. CSA STAR Certification gives SMEs the confidence to meet expectations – from legal to new business opportunities – giving you a solid and secure base to grow from.


Shaping CSA STAR Certification for SMEs

Small businesses that implement CSA STAR Certification can achieve the same levels of success as larger companies. We know that you may have tighter budgets and less time to manage the cloud and information security risks you face. And we know that those risks are as unique as you. That’s why we provide packages that can be customized to include only the services and products you need – removing the unnecessary cost and complexity of achieving CSA STAR Certification. We can help you improve your compliance with regulatory requirements, enhance the security of cloud services to customers and compete on a level playing field.
