In conjunction with the CSA, BSI has developed the CSA STAR Certification scheme to measure the robustness and performance of cloud security. It gives cloud service providers the ability to prove that their registration to the Cloud Security Alliance's (CSA's) Security, Trust and Assurance Registry (STAR) has been independently assessed against the new CSA STAR certification maturity model.

Led by an experienced tutor, this advanced course commences with the 1 day “Auditing Cloud Security for CSA STAR Certification” programme before concentrating on how a CSA STAR rating is determined using a detailed case study on day 2.
