MAS unveils technology risk management scheme for financial sector

Get a glimpse of the new requirements.

According to a release, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) today issued the Technology Risk Management (TRM) Notice and Guidelines.

The TRM Guidelines aim to provide comprehensive guidance on the establishment of sound technology risk management and security practices to address existing and emerging technology risks within the financial industry.

This set of enhanced Guidelines replaces the existing MAS Internet Banking and Technology Guidelines as well as past circulars on IT risk management, and applies to all financial institutions (FIs).

In addition, MAS has issued a Notice which defines a set of legal requirements relating to technology risk management for FIs. These include requirements for a high level of reliability, availability and recoverability of critical IT systems and for FIs to implement IT controls to protect customer information from unauthorised access or disclosure.

MAS took into account feedback from our public consultation in June 2012 and revised the Notice and Guidelines where appropriate.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
