As organizations increasingly adopt AI-driven workloads in the cloud, they face growing pressure to meet rigorous compliance standards and address an evolving threat landscape. The CSA STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) program, developed by the Cloud Security Alliance, has emerged as a trusted framework for demonstrating transparency, security, and compliance in cloud services—especially for organizations leveraging AI and operating in highly regulated environments.

Streamline your Journey

STAR for AI is a pioneering extension of Cloud Security Alliance’s (CSA) STAR program, designed to bring security, transparency, and trust to AI and Generative AI (GenAI) systems. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into cloud services, customer platforms, and infrastructures that are vital to society, standardized, responsible, and secure AI practices have become a necessity.

Key Highlights
