Singapore. TÜV SÜD PSB, the international testing, inspection, certification, and training company with German roots has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lazada Singapore to advocate the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) Cyber Essentials and Trust marks, as a standard framework for Lazada’s key partners, further strengthening their cybersecurity ecosystem.
The MoU was signed at the TÜV SÜD’s cybersecurity event, Cybersecurity in the Digital Ecosystem – 2nd Edition event on Tuesday, 25th July 2023 by Mr. Richard Hong, CEO, TÜV SÜD ASEAN and Mr. Loh Wee Lee, CEO, Lazada Singapore, witnessed by Mr. Dan Yock Hau, Assistant Chief Executive (National Cyber Resilience), CSA.
The partnership is in line with the strategic direction of Lazada to bolster the cybersecurity maturity of the e-commerce ecosystem. It builds on Lazada's achievement of the CSA Cyber Trust mark, under the Cyber Essentials and Trust mark certification scheme, part of the SG Cyber Safe programme. The Cyber Essentials mark recognises organisations that have put in place cyber hygiene measures, while the Cyber Trust mark is a mark of distinction to recognise organisations with comprehensive cybersecurity measures and practices.
As an independent certification body, TÜV SÜD will support Lazada in its efforts to raise awareness among its key partners about the importance of implementing cybersecurity practices to achieve the certification.
