 The Cloud Security Alliance has announced the availability of version 1.0 of its Cloud Controls Matrix, a collection of cloud security controls aligned with key information security regulations, standards and frameworks. The matrix, which is based upon the CSA Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing, can be downloaded at www.cloudsecurityalliance.org/cm.html.
The CSA Cloud Controls Matrix contains 98 controls, identified as being applicable to cloud providers, customers or both, and mapped against several well known standards and regulations, including ISO/IEC 27002, PCI/DSS and HIPAA.
Available free of charge, the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix is intended to help a wide range of practitioners bridge the gap between traditional security frameworks and guidance specific to cloud computing. Initially available in spreadsheet form, future versions will be delivered using formats such as XML to ease solution integration.
