What is the CAIQ?
The Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) is published by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and is the standard security questionnaire for cloud service providers. It maps to the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) and is required by many enterprise customers before vendor approval.
The CAIQ v4 covers 17 control domains including Application & Interface Security, Audit Assurance & Compliance, Business Continuity Management, Change Control, Data Security & Privacy, Encryption & Key Management, Governance, Human Resources, Identity & Access Management, Infrastructure & Virtualization, and more.
Cloud-native SaaS companies, infrastructure providers, and managed service providers regularly receive CAIQ requests from enterprise customers. Each one requires detailed, accurate answers that reflect your actual cloud security posture.
