Cloud App Risk Levels

Trend Micro experts constantly evaluate, assess, and adjust cloud applications’ risk levels based on multiple criteria to ensure that customers always have the latest information.

Note:

An application's risk level indicates a level of maturity and security compliance for the application and does not indicate that an application is malicious or dangerous.

Trend Micro determines a cloud application’s risk level based on:

  • Standards compliance (for example, CSA STAR LEVEL, ISO, NIST)

  • Security features (for example, multi-factor authentication, DoS protection)

  • Security headers (for example, x-frame-options, content-security-policy)

  • Security breaches or other events that may indicate a compromised service

In addition, Trend Micro evaluates the risk level based on regulatory compliance with the following:

  • EU-US/Swiss-US Privacy Shield

  • FINRA

  • GDPR

  • GLBA

  • HIPAA/HITECH
