Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 CCM-IAM-09: Segregation of Privileged Access Roles

Separate privileged roles so that administration of data, of encryption and key management, and of logging are held by distinct roles rather than one super-administrator.

Other controls in IAM - Identity & Access Management

You are reading one control. How much of Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 have you already done?

Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 CCM-IAM-09 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 140 of 197 Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0.1 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 12 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
