May 26, 2022. MSECB, as a leading provider of Audit and Certification Services in the field of Information Security and Privacy, today announces that it has joined the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment.

MSECB will offer third-party audit and certifications for the STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk) Certification Program to organizations who want to further enhance their cloud security and privacy to their existing ISO/IEC 27001 certification, since the latter is a prerequisite for the STAR Certification Program.

“We are very much happy with the addition of CSA to our services portfolio as it aligns perfectly with our ongoing Information Security focus. The growing compliance needs for increased security and privacy confirms that data protection has become a social responsibility in the modern enterprise,” said Eric Lessard, CEO of MSECB. “We are looking forward to our collaboration with CSA in sharing and increasing knowledge about the importance of security in cloud computing,” he added.

“STAR certification allows cloud service providers the opportunity to showcase the security regulations, standards, and frameworks they adhere to, allowing prospects and customers to make informed decisions about their cloud solutions,” said Jim Reavis, CSA co-founder and CEO. “As a leading provider of certification services, we welcome MSECB to the community and look forward to their contributions in building a more secure cloud ecosystem.”
