FOREWORD
The Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme (CLS) is part of Cyber Security Agency’s
(CSA) efforts to better secure Singapore’s cyberspace and to raise cyber hygiene
levels.
Under the CLS, the cybersecurity label would provide an indication of the level of
security in the network-connected smart devices. It aims to improve security
awareness by making such provisions more transparent to consumers and
empowers consumers to make informed purchasing decisions for products with
better security using the information on the cybersecurity label.
The CLS seeks to incentivise developer/manufacturers to develop and provide
products with enhanced cybersecurity provisions. The labels also serve to
differentiate smart devices with better cybersecurity safeguards in the market,
from their competitors.
At the same time, CSA intends to engage other like-minded partners for mutual
recognition of the CLS with the objective of eliminating duplicated assessments
across national boundaries.
The CLS is an initiative under the Safer Cyberspace Masterplan, to create a safer
cyberspace and protect the public and enterprises against cyber threats, as
Singapore moves towards a Digital Economy and Smart Nation.
The CLS is owned and managed by the Cybersecurity Certification Centre (CCC),
under the ambit of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA).
