MAS banks on financial institutions to enforce robust IT security

All FIs in Singapore must comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) anticipates that financial institutions (FIs), including insurers, put strong and comprehensive measures in place to safeguard customer data.

MAS mandates that insurers licensed in Singapore must have a robust IT security policy in place to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure of customer information, Lu Xinyi, director of corporate communications at MAS said in a letter responding to Pei Sai Fan.

In addition, all financial institutions in Singapore must comply with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), which regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data.

These obligations apply equally to both local and foreign financial institutions handling personal data. Entities or individuals found in violation of these regulations will face firm action.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
