CSA licensed penetration testing in Singapore, run end to end by Sumrite.
In Singapore, penetration testing services sold to the market must come from a provider licensed by the Cyber Security Agency. Sumrite runs the engagement and the licensed service is provided through its CSA licensed partner.
Under Singapore’s Cybersecurity Act 2018, providers of penetration testing services to the Singapore market must hold a licence from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA); the licensing framework took effect on 11 April 2022. Sumrite runs scoping, remediation support and the retest, and the licensed penetration testing service is provided through its CSA licensed partner.

How Sumrite delivers it
Sumrite runs the engagement end to end: scoping, expert-led testing, remediation support and the retest. Where the scheme requires a specific accredited, empanelled, licensed or registered firm, the formal report or attestation is issued through a Sumrite partner firm that holds it, so you deal with one team throughout.
- Confirm the requirement. CSA licensing, MAS TRM evidence or a CII audit.
- Scope and NDA. Assets and test windows agreed in writing.
- Licensed testing. Delivered by the CSA licensed partner with Sumrite coordinating and testing alongside.
- Report and retest. Findings mapped to your framework, fixed and retested.
