Timeline depends on your existing compliance status.
Organizations with an existing SOC 2 Type 2 report can complete CSA STAR Attestation within the same examination period (typically 6–12 months) by incorporating CCM as additional criteria to their SOC 2 examination.
Organizations with ISO 27001 certification can pursue CSA STAR Certification during their initial certification or recertification audit, adding approximately 50% to the audit duration. STAR Certification follows the same 3-year cycle as ISO 27001.
Both tracks leverage existing evidence while requiring additional testing for CCM control objectives not addressed by ISO 27001 or SOC 2.
CSA STAR Level 2 builds on existing security frameworks and cannot be pursued independently, but you don't necessarily need to complete them first. Both tracks allow concurrent pursuit alongside the foundational framework. All organizations must complete a CSA STAR Level 1 self-assessment (CAIQ submission) before pursuing Level 2.
Your CSA STAR Attestation or Certification is publicly searchable in the STAR Registry, providing third-party independent assessment to customers and partners evaluating your security posture.
STAR Attestation must be renewed annually. Attestation listings expire after 12 months for SOC 2 Type 2 and 6 months for SOC 2 Type 1 and require an updated examination with CCM criteria each year to maintain registry listing.
STAR Certification follows the three-year ISO 27001 certification cycle, including annual surveillance audits in years 1 and 2, followed by a recertification audit before certificate expiration in year 3.
Organizations must update their STAR Level 1 CAIQ (self-assessment) annually, regardless of whether they hold Attestation or Certification. Your auditor submits the attestation report to the STAR Registry.
Securisea can answer questions about STAR requirements and provide guidance on maintaining controls and documentation readiness between assessments.
