STAR Enabled Solution | CAIQ-Lite
Release Date: 05/05/2021
CSA and Whistic identified the need for a lighter-weight assessment questionnaire in order to accommodate the shift to cloud procurement models, and to enable cybersecurity professionals to more easily engage with cloud vendors. CAIQ-Lite was developed to meet the demands of an increasingly fast-paced cybersecurity environment where adoption is becoming paramount when selecting a vendor security questionnaire. CAIQ-Lite contains 71 questions compared to the 295 found in the CAIQ, while maintaining representation of 100% of the original 16 control domains present in The Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) 3.0.1.
Below is a brief CAIQ-Lite overview:
- 71 Questions
- 16 Control Domains remain (CCM 3.0.1)
- Leveraged panel of hundreds of IT security professionals
- CSA Member testing & feedback
- Whistic Customer testing & feedback
