StreamShark accepted into CSA’s STAR Registry

We are thrilled to announce that StreamShark has been accepted into the Cloud Security Alliance’s (CSA) Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) Level 1 Registry. For our customers and prospects, the registration provides increased transparency around StreamShark’s security and compliance posture as well as the security controls StreamShark has in place.

StreamShark complies with CSA best practices

STAR encompasses the key principles of transparency, rigorous auditing, and harmonization of standards outlined in the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), a cybersecurity control framework for cloud computing. 

StreamShark’s self-assessment involved completing the CSA’s Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ), a set of more than 300 questions based on the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) that a customer or cloud auditor may want to ask us to assess our compliance with CSA best practices.

About the CSA

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) is a nonprofit organization led by a broad coalition of industry practitioners, corporations, and other important stakeholders. It is dedicated to defining best practices to help ensure a more secure cloud computing environment, and to helping potential cloud customers make informed decisions when transitioning their IT operations to the cloud. In 2013, the CSA and the British Standards Institution launched the Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) Registry, a free, publicly accessible registry in which cloud service providers (CSPs) can publish their CSA-related assessments. 

Industry standards that the CSA CCM aligns with

The CCM maps to industry-accepted security standards, regulations, and control frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, AICPA Trust Services Criteria, and others.

StreamShark is also certified to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (ISO 27001) standard. For more information, please visit https://streamshark.io/blog/streamshark-is-now-officially-iso-27001-certified/
