STAR Lead Auditor Training

In association with the British Standards Institution (BSI), CSA has developed the BSI/CSA STAR Lead Auditor Training, a self-paced course to help assessors, service providers, and consultants better manage the security of cloud services, as well as provide the credentials necessary to become a qualified STAR Auditor. This should give customers confidence in a STAR Auditor’s ability to deliver, enhance the auditor’s reputation, and differentiate them from competitors.

This comprehensive program is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge required to audit cloud service providers (CSPs) against the STAR Certification scheme. The STAR Certification scheme is an industry-wide initiative that provides a framework for assessing the security and privacy practices of CSPs along with a maturity model that measures the strengths and weaknesses of an organization.
