CSI Matrix

Using cloud services is a great way to grow your business, but it also brings some security challenges – and those challenges really depend on the kind of cloud services you’re using, whether it’s SaaS, PaaS, or IaaS.

That’s where the CSI Matrix comes in. It helps you quickly figure out which security risks matter most for your specific cloud setup.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1Pick your cloud service models: Start by telling us which cloud services you’re already using or planning to use.
Step 2See the relevant risks: Based on your choices, we’ll show you a list of security threats that are most likely to affect your business.
Step 3Rate the risks that matter to you: You get to rate each threat based on how risky it feels for your company. This way, you can focus on what really matters to you.
Step 4Get clear advice: For every threat, we provide easy-to-follow tips and actions based on the well-known OWASP Top 10 — a trusted guide that security experts use worldwide

Once you complete the four steps, you can download your personalized Cloud Security Implementation (CSI) Matrix PDF. It clearly explains the main risks, vulnerabilities, and actions to keep your cloud setup safe. You’ll also find an optional Cloud Security Checklist: a simple, practical guide to help you regularly review and improve your cloud security.
