In June, Singapore's financial and cybersecurity agencies proposed requiring vendors to hold a national cybersecurity certification before they can provide services to the government, tightening eligibility for public-sector work. The proposal centers on the Cyber Essentials Mark and Cyber Trust Mark as the gateway for government access. The shift matters because it makes supplier security a formal condition for government contracts rather than an after-the-fact review.
