Helping you navigate today's shared security responsibility model in the Cloud.

Addressing security in a public cloud environment is slightly different than in your on-premises data centers. When you move systems and data to the cloud, security responsibilities become shared between your organization and the cloud service provider. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), are responsible for securing the underlying infrastructure that supports the cloud, and you are responsible for anything you put on the cloud or connect to the cloud.

CSA STAR is a powerful cloud security assurance program. It involves thorough auditing, harmonization of standards, and principles of transparency. The CSA STAR assessment is an evaluation report that shows compliance with the industry’s best practices as published by CSA. The program has many benefits such as the indication of having the industry’s best practices and superior Cloud security.

We help both users and providers of Cloud services assess their CSA STAR security compliance. Any company that uses, provides, audits, or secures Cloud services need to be assured of Cloud security by a third-party source. This is where Welora comes in with the right CSA STAR security assessment tools and expertise to test and ensure that you are doing your part in keeping the cloud ecosystem secure according to the industry standards.

All Cloud service users and providers are encouraged by CSA to complete the security assessment process which addresses the most important and urgent security questions about Cloud services. After an independent assessment by a third party company such as Venkon, the Cloud service provider is awarded CSA STAR Certification. This important certification shows compliance with the ISO/IEC/ 27001 management system standard requirements. Certification also shows compliance to CSA Cloud Control Matrix which is a measure of the Cloud service’s capability. Having the STAR Certification gives your prospective customers that you have an advanced knowledge and understanding of security controls in your Cloud service.
