CCC-06 Change Management Baseline
Change management and configuration baselines are set, written down and applied for all relevant authorised changes to organisational assets, and the baselines are reviewed and updated every year as a minimum or after significant changes.
Source: CSA CCM v4.1, CCC-06. The statement above is our statement of the clause, read from the published text and cited so you can check it against the official text, not the instrument verbatim. Open CSA CCM v4.1 in the compliance library.
Version 4.1 adds 11 controls (among them API security, log sanitisation and a service bill of materials) and renumbers several domains. CSA accepts v4.0.x during its transition; if your STAR assessment is still on v4.0.1, check the numbering against it.
These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.

Common gaps auditors find
- Baselines exist for servers but not for cloud services or network devices
- Baselines never revised after major platform upgrades
- Baseline not updated when an authorised change alters the approved state
