The Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore (“CSA“) has released its Industry Consultation Paper on the Licensing Framework for Cybersecurity Service Providers (“CSPs“) under Part 5 of the Cybersecurity Act. While the rest of the Cybersecurity Act came into effect on 31 August 2018, the CSA intended for the licensing framework for CSPs to commence later after industry views on the implementation details have been gathered to enhance the practicality of the licensing framework.
The CSA has considered the feedback received on the proposed licensing framework during the public consultation on the Cybersecurity Bill held in 2017 in its drafting of Part 5 of the Cybersecurity Act. The current Industry Consultation is focused on the implementation details of the licensing framework. In this Update, we provide a background of the types and scope of licensable services and highlight the key proposed conditions of the licensing regime found in the Industry Consultation Paper.
