Answering a CAIQ
This is the Cloud Security Alliance's Consensus Assessment Initiative Questionnaire, the definitive standard that cloud vendors are required to complete. It consists of a broad set of questions mapped precisely to the Cloud Controls Matrix, delivered entirely as a spreadsheet.
What it asks
Control areas across the cloud security domains of the Cloud Controls Matrix, as closed questions with space to explain. We summarise the shape in our own words; the question text belongs to the CSA.
How we answer it
The same way as everything else: your documents are read, each question matched to evidence, every answer grounded in a quote you can check. It comes back in its original layout, filled.
What you get
The filled CAIQ in its original format, plus a private gap note listing anything your documents did not support.
