Governance / CSA CISO-as-a-Service
CSAListed CISO-as-a-Service consultant
Up to 70% co-funding
for your cyber health plan.
Under CSA’s SG Cyber Safe Programme, eligible SMEs can engage Insyghts as their CISO-as-a-Service consultant to assess cyber health, build a plan and prepare for certification.
SG Cyber Safe Programme
CSA’s roadmap for every business, at every maturity stage.
The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore’s SG Cyber Safe Programme gives enterprises tools and certification marks to lift their cybersecurity, and to show customers they can be trusted.
- Toolkits & health checks Self-help guides, health check assessments and the Cyber Essentials in Action tabletop game.
- Cyber Essentials mark Foundational cyber hygiene for organisations starting out.
- Cyber Trust mark Risk-based certification for organisations with higher risk profiles.
Organisations can add specialised tracks for cloud, operational technology and AI, and use CISO as-a-Service to get there with a pre-approved consultant.
- + CLOUD TRACK
- + OT TRACK
- + AI TRACK
Inside the marks
What each mark covers.
Cyber Essentials is the baseline: 5 pillars and 9 domains across people, process and technology. Cyber Trust scales from 10 to 22 domains across five Cybersecurity Preparedness tiers, based on your risk profile.

CISO as-a-Service
A part-time CISO to build your Cybersecurity Health Plan.
Most SMEs can’t justify a full-time CISO. Under CSA’s CISO as-a-Service, a pre-approved consultant plays that role for you, pre-scoped to the Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust marks.
- Cyber health checkup Assess your organisation against CSA’s Cyber Essentials and/or Cyber Trust marks.
- Tailored health plan A prioritised cybersecurity health plan to improve progressively.
- Close the gaps Guidance to fix identified cyber hygiene gaps.
- Certification-ready Prepared for Cyber Essentials certification, at minimum.
Why Insyghts

Insyghts delivers all three. Funding applies where CSA’s programme covers it.
