FAQs
SAC is Singapore's IAF member accreditation body. For Singapore government procurement (GeBIZ), SAC-accredited certificates are preferred. However, certificates from other IAF-accredited bodies (UKAS, JAS-ANZ, NABCB) are also recognized.
MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore)'s Technology Risk Management (TRM) guidelines strongly align with ISO 27001. Many banks and financial institutions require ISO 27001 from their fintech and IT vendor base. ISO 27001 certification significantly accelerates TRM compliance assessment.
