The Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CSA CCM) is a comprehensive cybersecurity control framework specifically designed for cloud computing environments. It consists of 197 control objectives organized into 17 domains, covering all critical aspects of cloud security such as data protection, identity and access management, threat and vulnerability management, application security, and compliance. The CCM helps organizations systematically assess their cloud implementations, manage risks, ensure compliance, and clarify the shared security responsibilities between cloud service providers (CSPs) and customers. It maps its controls to widely recognized industry standards and regulations, allowing organizations to streamline compliance efforts across multiple frameworks. The CCM is widely used as a de-facto standard for cloud security assurance, providing practical guidance for implementing, auditing, and automating cloud security controls.
