CSAP Certification Self-Coach

3.70

Derivation Chain

Step 1 Government policy mandating public data center sensitive data migration to private cloud
→
Step 2 Surge in demand for CSAP certification among private cloud providers
→
Step 3 CSAP certification self-assessment and preparation guide

Problem

As migration of public data to private cloud becomes mandatory, small and mid-size cloud/SaaS companies must urgently obtain CSAP (Cloud Security Assurance Program) certification. However, understanding and preparing for the 141 certification requirements costs 30–100 million KRW (~$22,500–$75,000) in consulting fees. Startups with fewer than 10 employees often abandon the process entirely due to budget constraints.

Solution

Delivers all 141 CSAP certification requirements as an interactive self-assessment checklist. Users input their current infrastructure status, and the system automatically classifies items as met or unmet. For each unmet item, it provides specific remediation guides (with setup instructions for AWS, NHN Cloud, and KT Cloud), and auto-generates certification application document templates.

Target: CTOs and security leads at cloud/SaaS Startups with 10–50 employees preparing for CSAP certification
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription at 99,000 KRW/account (~$74/month) for self-assessment + guides + document templates. One-time assessment only: 199,000 KRW (~$149)
Ecosystem Role: Regulation
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
