Amazon Web Services (AWS) is pleased to announce the release of a new Cloud Companion Guide to help customers prepare for the Cyber Trust label developed by the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore (CSA).
The Cloud Companion Guide for the CSA Cyber Trust Label provides guidance and mapping of AWS services and features for the applicable domains of the label. It aims to provide customers with an understanding of AWS services and tools that they can use to help meet the requirements set forth in the Cyber Trust label.
The Cyber Trust label aims to guide organizations in understanding their risk profiles and identifying relevant areas of cybersecurity preparedness required to mitigate these risks. It also serves as a mark of distinction for organizations to show that they have implemented good cybersecurity practices and measures that fit their cybersecurity risk profile.
The guide does not cover compliance topics such as physical controls and maintenance controls, or organization-specific requirements such as human resources policies and controls. This makes the guide lightweight and focused on security considerations for AWS services. For a complete list of AWS compliance programs, see the AWS Compliance Center.
We hope that organizations of all sizes can use the Cloud Companion Guide for Cyber Trust to implement specific AWS security services and tools to help them achieve effective controls. By understanding the security services and tools available on AWS, and the controls that apply to them, customers can build secure workloads and applications on AWS.
“At AWS, security is our top priority, and we remain committed to helping our customers in Singapore strengthen their cloud security posture, and enhance trust among our customers’ end users,” said Joel Garcia, CTO, ASEAN. The Security Companion Guide is one way we work with government agencies such as the Cybersecurity Agency of Singapore to do this. Customers who take these steps can better secure their cloud environments, mitigate risks, and achieve effective controls for building secure workloads on AWS.
