As one of the industry’s most powerful programs for security assurance in the cloud, the Cloud Security Alliance’s (CSA) Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) program serves as a globally recognized public registry for cloud service providers.

The CSA STAR framework encompasses key principles of transparency, rigorous auditing, and harmonization of standards outlined in the Cloud Control Matrix (CCM). BARR’s accreditation to certify in accordance with CSA STAR provides an efficient way for cloud service providers to offer increased transparency around their established controls in their AWS environment. Organizations who achieve CSA STAR compliance differentiate themselves as one who is committed to security and privacy best practices within the cloud.

When you certify to CSA STAR your organization joins the CSA STAR registry, a publicly accessible registry of more than 2,000 providers that documents the security and privacy controls provided by popular cloud computing offerings. Publishing to the registry allows you to establish your security and compliance posture, building trust with potential and current customers.
