CSA STAR Certification Levels

There are various assessment levels within the CSA STAR framework. CSA STAR
Certification consists of two levels:

SELF-ASSESSMENT

This level assesses the cloud provider's security posture and practices. It focuses on the provider's capability to safeguard customer data and ensure the security of cloud operations.

Organizations have the option to submit either security or privacy self-assessments, or both. Level 1 is suitable for organizations that:

- Operate within a low-risk environment.
- Seek to enhance transparency regarding their security controls.
- Aim for a cost-effective means to bolster trust and transparency.

THIRD PARTY AUDIT

Building on the foundation of Level 1, Level 2 certification delves deeper into the cloud provider's security measures. It assesses the effectiveness and implementation of these measures, offering a more comprehensive view of security practices.

Level 2 enables organizations to tailor industry certifications and standards specifically for cloud services. Organizations should consider Level 2 if they:

- Operate in a medium-to-high risk environment.
- Already hold or adhere to certifications such as ISO 27001 orSOC 2.
- Are looking for a cost-effective approach to enhance assurance in cloud security and privacy.
