Guide to Updating Pre-Approved Solutions Lockup
This page will help you understand how to make changes and stay compliant
Important Update: Effective 2 March 2026, the "CTO-as-a-Service" platform has been consolidated under the SMEs Go Digital brand. All pre-approved vendors must update their marketing materials with the new IMDA Pre-Approved Solution lockup by 31 March 2026, 12pm.
Compulsory Action Required: Every vendor must either update their materials with the new lockup OR submit a declaration confirming they do not use any lockup materials. No exceptions.
Deadline: 31 March 2026, 12pm
Consequence: Non-compliance may result in suspension or termination from the programme as per Terms and Conditions clause 10.1e.
Step 1: Conduct Marketing Asset Audit
Review all your marketing collaterals to identify materials using the old "CTO-as-a-Service" lockup, including:
Printed flyers and brochures
Website banners and graphics
Digital advertisements
Email signatures
Social media assets
Presentation templates
Any other promotional materials
IF THIS IS YOUR CURRENT BANNER, YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT.
Step 2: Identify Marketing Assets that use the old banner
For Physical Materials:
Stop distribution immediately
Arrange for proper disposal (recycling or destruction)
Before printing new physical assets: If you require a compliance check before printing, please send us a request at [email protected]
For Digital Assets: (Go to Step 3)
Prepare to replace with new lockup
Create a backup of current materials if needed
Schedule updates across all digital platforms
If you don't currently use any lockup materials:
Proceed directly to Step 5 for declaration submission
