Launch of Cloud Security Companion Guides to Support Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust

On 17 October 2023, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (“CSA“) and the Cloud Security Alliance launched two Cloud Security Companion Guides to support Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust for organisations (“Companion Guides“). Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust are national cybersecurity standards developed by CSA. The Companion Guides provide advisories for cloud customers, including small-medium enterprises (“SMEs“), to better understand their cloud-specific risks and responsibilities. The Companion Guides also cover the required steps for organisations to take to secure the cloud environment, such as training employees on their roles in cloud security and how they can operate securely in the cloud.

Enterprise cloud adoption has risen significantly over recent years. When organisations use the cloud, a common area of confusion is the division of responsibility between the organisation as cloud users, and that of their cloud providers. The companion guide for Cyber Essentials, targeted at SMEs, adopts a shared responsibility model to help organisations understand what they and their providers each need to take responsibility of to secure the cloud environment.
