Explanation

The CSA Open Certification Framework (OCF) - the foundation of the STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) program - is structured around three tiers of assurance. Level 1 is STAR Self-Assessment, where providers self-report their security posture using the CSA Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire (CAIQ) or CCM. Level 2 is STAR Certification & Attestation, a third-party assessment where an independent auditor validates the provider's controls against ISO 27001 or SOC 2 mapped to CCM. Level 3 is STAR Continuous Monitoring, which provides real-time, ongoing assurance using automated monitoring rather than point-in-time audits. The levels progressively increase rigor and trust.
