    Singapore Raises the Bar. FEHA GRC Was Already There

    Singapore's government just made cybersecurity certification mandatory for key organizations. FEHA GRC already meets the new rules and goes beyond them. At a government debate in 2026, Singapore's Cyber Security Agency (CSA) said that owners of key national systems, approved cybersecurity auditors, and licensed cybersecurity firms must all get Cyber Trust Mark (CTM) certified or face penalties.

    What CSA Is Asking Organizations to Do

    Singapore has grown its digital systems fast. That means more risk. To keep the country safe, the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) has made cybersecurity certification a legal requirement for organizations that run important national services. There are no exceptions.

    This affects sectors like energy, water, banking, healthcare, transport, and government. CSA's message is clear: basic cybersecurity is no longer optional, and weak links in the supply chain will be fixed, starting from the top.

    what CSA is asking organizations to do

    CTM Level 5 is the highest level of the Cyber Trust Mark. It covers most controls and is designed for organizations with complex systems and higher risk. For many, getting to this level from scratch will take a lot of time, money, and effort.

    FEHA GRC'S POSITION

    Already Certified. Already Ready.

    Many organizations are still figuring out what CTM Level 5 means for them. FEHA GRC has already done the work. We have built the newest CSA Cyber Trust Mark Framework into how we operate. Our clients do not need to start from scratch; they can use what we have already put in place.

    CTM vs ISO 27001, Why ISO Sets a Higher Bar

    The Cyber Trust Mark is Singapore's own cybersecurity certification, built for local needs. ISO 27001 is the world's top security management standard and it asks for more. Here is how they compare:

    The short version: ISO 27001 covers everything CTM Level 5 requires, and more. Because FEHA GRC holds an active ISO 27001 certification, we already meet Singapore's new rules with stronger controls and wider coverage than what the local standard requires.

    What Your Organization Needs to Know

    FEHA GRC has been ready for supporting organizations and companies with CSA Trust Mark even before it became a requirement and we're already aligned with the CSA Trust Mark 2025 framework. When the government set the new deadlines, nothing changed on our end. We were ready.  

    That means when you work with us, you're not waiting for us to catch up, you're working with a team that already knows the framework, has applied it, and can guide you through it from day one.
