As companies look at cloud solutions for their IT network
and storage requirements, there is a greater need to put
some very real security measures in place.
In conjunction with the CSA, BSI has developed the CSA STAR Certification scheme to measure the robustness and performance of cloud security. It gives cloud service providers the ability to prove that their registration to the Cloud Security Alliance’s (CSA’s) Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR) has been independently assessed against the new CSA STAR certification maturity model.
The maturity model checks a cloud service provider’s security performance against the CSA’s Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) to award an overall grade.
Although only a certified CSA STAR auditor from a certification body can recommend CSA STAR certification, by attending this course, you will learn how to effectively prepare a cloud service provider for a CSA STAR audit.
Led by an experienced tutor, this advanced course commences with the 1 day ‘Auditing Cloud Security for CSA STAR Certification’ programme before concentrating on how a CSA STAR rating is determined using a detailed case study on day 2. To successfully complete this course, you will need to pass an examination.
