CCM Video Series: STA - Supply Chain Mgmt, Transparency, & Accountability

In this presentation we explore the Supply Chain Management, Transparency, and Accountability (STA) domain, which includes fourteen control specifications designed to help Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) and Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) manage supply chain risks and ensure security across the entire technology stack. These controls support the protection of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, applications, and services while ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the supply chain.

Under the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), CSPs are responsible for securing and managing their own supply chain and maintaining operational transparency. CSCs need to assess the risks associated with their chosen CSPs and supply chain vendors, ensuring that their security requirements are met.

Effective collaboration in implementing STA controls fosters transparency and accountability between CSPs and CSCs, leading to a more secure and resilient supply chain. For CSCs, this collaboration ensures that their specific security needs and concerns regarding the supply chain are adequately addressed.
