What is CAIQ?

The Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) is a survey provided by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) for cloud consumers and auditors to assess the security capabilities of their cloud services provider.

Vertical Structure’s team of experts assist organisations to complete the survey, allowing them to verify their level of security for their cloud product. It gives yes/no questions to simplify the task, providing the questions that need to be asked, and the format to do so with a regulated methodology.

The overall goal of the CAIQ is to give organisations peace of mind – and greater transparency – with regards to the technologies and security protocols that their cloud service providers are using.
