Why work with Ivanka on CSA STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk)

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (STAR) programme provides a comprehensive framework for cloud security assurance. Based on the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), STAR offers three levels of assurance: self-assessment (Level 1), third-party audit (Level 2 — SOC 2 or ISO 27001 based), and continuous monitoring (Level 3). The CCM provides 197 control objectives across 17 domains mapped to major standards and regulations.

Most consultants approach CSA STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) as a checkbox exercise. Ivanka approaches it as a strategic lever. With 25 years of building The Art of Service – a compliance platform now covering 692 frameworks and 819,000+ cross-framework mappings – she doesn't just understand the standard. She understands how it connects to everything else your organisation is already doing.

This matters because CSA STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) doesn't exist in isolation. Ivanka will map your current compliance posture against the 15 controls across 3 domains, identify gaps, and show you where existing controls from other frameworks you may already follow can be leveraged – saving months of redundant work.
