Description
Seattle, WA – January 17, 2013 – The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) recommends the Cloud Security Readiness Tool (CSRT), a free tool from Microsoft designed to help organizations review and understand their IT maturity level and their readiness to consider adopting or growing cloud services. The tool uses the Cloud Control Matrix (CCM) to consider data security, privacy, and reliability factors as well as key compliance and regulatory standards. The tool is a simple way to adopt Security, Trust, and Assurance Registry (STAR) and CCM principles.
The tool helps organizations evaluate their IT potential and learn how they can adopt cloud services to reduce the overall cost of their operation. Organizations that are considering cloud adoption are faced with common decision difficulties, most of which relates to a lack of understanding about cloud computing. Information from more than 800 organizations that have used the CSRT shows that only a few of them are well prepared for cloud adoption. For example, only 25 percent of organizations in the Banking and Financial sector have embraced a formalized security program. A CCM control validates whether an organization has an information security program. A tool like the CSRT helps organizations better understand the full potential of embracing the STAR and the CCM.
“Organizations are often at a loss when it comes to how to go about determining which cloud services may be of value and whether deploying cloud services are appropriate in their environment. We hope this tool becomes every organization’s first step into the cloud,” says John Howie, COO of the CSA.
