CSA STAR CAIQ-Lite
Introducing CAIQ-Lite
We are excited to announce the creation and launch of the Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) Lite. CAIQ-Lite can be accessed by CSA members for free on CSA as well as from our industry partner Whistic.
Based upon months of analyzing feedback, conducting research & testing, and applying proper weighting and selection; CSA & Whistic are collaboratively releasing CAIQ-Lite.
In order to accommodate the shift to cloud procurement models, CSA and Whistic identified the need for a streamlined assessment questionnaire to better arm cybersecurity professionals to efficiently engage their cloud vendors. CAIQ-Lite was developed to match the rapid pace inherent within the cybersecurity environment, placing increased importance on vendor security questionnaire adoption.
You may also access CAIQ-Lite online within the Whistic Platform, ideal for digital access &self-assessment.
Below is a brief CAIQ-Lite overview:
- 73 Questions
- 16 Control Domains remain (CCM 3.0.1)
- Leveraged panel of hundreds of IT security professionals
- CSA Member testing & feedback

Additionally, If you already have a CAIQ on STAR, a CAIQ-Lite will automatically be created on the Whistic Platform.
