Security Self Assessment Questionnaire (CAIQ - Lite)

To express our security posture in concrete terms and offer transparency on security controls, we rely on the Cloud Security Alliance's Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire Lite (CAIQ-Lite) as a foundational tool.

We have made this information accessible to the public to enable our customers to assess our security posture. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
