Overview
The Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0 is widely regarded as a de-facto standard for cloud security assurance and compliance. It provides a detailed catalog of cloud-specific security controls that align with various industry standards and frameworks. This version includes implementation and auditing guidelines, mappings to global security standards, and continuous auditing metrics. It supports organizations in achieving and demonstrating cloud security compliance through structured tools like the Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ). CCM is also integrated into the CSA STAR Program for organizational certification and registry submissions.
