Singapore's Cybersecurity Act creates obligations for owners of designated critical information infrastructure.
Official sources
What the regime is trying to do
Critical information infrastructure supports essential services. The regime is designed to protect those systems from cyber threats and ensure owners maintain evidence, perform assessments, report incidents, and manage changes.
What teams need to do
- Confirm CII designation and system scope.
- Map supporting systems, data, providers, remote access, and maintenance dependencies.
- Maintain cybersecurity risk assessments and audit evidence.
- Handle reportable incidents and preserve evidence.
- Review material system changes and provider changes.
Evidence to maintain
- CII designation and asset records.
- Cybersecurity audit and risk assessment evidence.
- Provider and remote access records.
- Incident notification and remediation evidence.
- Change management and management reporting.
Common gaps
- CII maps show systems but not vendors and fourth parties.
- Incident response does not include provider evidence requirements.
- Change reviews miss provider delivery-model changes.
