Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) v3.1
Release Date: 04/01/2020
Therefore, it helps cloud customers to gauge the security posture of prospective cloud service providers and determine if their cloud services are suitably secure. CAIQ v3.1 represents a minor update to the previous CAIQ v3.0.1. In addition to improving the clarity and accuracy, it also supports better auditability of the CCM controls. The new updated version aims to not only correct errors but also appropriately align and improve the semantics of unclear questions for corresponding CCM v3.0.1 controls. In total, 49 new questions were added, and 25 existing ones were revised.
The CAIQ and CCM are the documents used by CSPs to submit to the CSA STAR Registry.
