Trusted Cloud Initiative
Mission Statement: To Promote Education, Research and Certification of Secure and Interoperable Identity in the Cloud
Updated April 27, 2010
The Trusted Cloud Initiative will help cloud providers develop industry-recommended, secure and interoperable identity, access and compliance management configurations, and practices. We will develop reference models, education, certification criteria and a cloud provider self-certification toolset in 2010. This will be developed in a vendor-neutral manner, inclusive of all CSA members and affiliates who wish to participate.
