What brings them to MXC
All third party data centre providers offering data center colocation services to financial institutions are required to undertake a Threat and Vulnerability Risk Assessment (TVRA) study as required by Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), in order to clearly establish the nature of the location’s risk and any contingent risks that cannot be addressed or are not deemed commercially sustainable. Thus, they are looking for third party security assessors to perform the Threat and Vulnerability Risk Assessment by identifying threats critical assets and how they may affect/impact the operations of the critical infrastructure and the safety of the personnel on-site, determining how best to mitigate those threats, based on current capabilities and resource requirements.
Challenges
- Lack of experience and professionals to perform the independent risk assessment as required by MAS.
