The tech giant TSC uses cloud for its operations.

The CSA CCM (Cloud Controls Matrix) Framework is a cybersecurity control framework for cloud computing, developed by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). It is designed to provide a structured and standardized set of security controls that help organizations assess the overall security posture of their cloud infrastructure and services.

Here’s how the CSA CCM Framework serves as a tool for cloud risk management:

Comprehensive Controls: The CCM consists of 197 control objectives structured in 17 domains covering all key aspects of cloud technology.

Risk Assessment: It can be used for the systematic assessment of a cloud implementation, providing guidance on which security controls should be implemented.

Alignment with Standards: The controls framework is aligned with the CSA Security Guidance for Cloud Computing and other industry-accepted security standards and regulations.

Shared Responsibility Model: The CCM clarifies the shared responsibility model between cloud service providers (CSPs) and customers (CSCs).

Monitoring and Measurement: The CCM includes metrics and implementation guidelines that help define what should be measured and the acceptable variance for risks.
