MAS Technology Risk Management (TRM)

What MAS expects, before they ask for it

The MAS Technology Risk Management Guidelines (January 2021 revision) set the supervisory bar for every MAS-regulated financial institution in Singapore. They are guidance — not a Notice — but MAS expects FIs to observe them, and an examiner will hold you to them. They span technology risk governance, IT resilience, secure SDLC, third-party and cloud risk, access control, and incident management.

The legally-binding companion is the MAS Notice on Cyber Hygiene, which carries the non-negotiable baseline. We treat the two together so your program satisfies the mandatory floor and the supervisory expectation in one coherent posture.

How we work

• Assess. We map your current controls against each domain of the TRM Guidelines and flag where observance is thin or undocumented.
• Map. Findings tie to specific TRM expectations and your Cyber Hygiene obligations, so nothing falls between the two.
• Report. The board gets a technology risk view it can govern from, not a raw control dump.
• Ready. We prepare the evidence and narrative an FI needs to face a MAS inspection without scrambling.

Built for the Singapore financial sector

This is not a generic IT audit. Engagements are calibrated to your licence type and risk profile, so the work reflects what MAS actually supervises for an FI of your size and activity — and gives you a roadmap you can defend.
