MAS compliance you can show the regulator.

Name: Compyl MAS Compliance
Brand: Compyl
Availability: InStock

MAS doesn’t issue a certificate, it supervises, inspects, and expects board-level accountability. Compyl’s MAS TRM compliance software maps the legally binding Cyber Hygiene measures and the TRM Guidelines to live evidence, tracks third-party risk, and keeps you ready for the 1-hour incident clock.

The problem

MAS doesn’t schedule an audit, it inspects, and expects proof

With no certificate to aim for, MAS compliance is judged on what you can show: board oversight, the six baseline measures, third-party controls, and how fast you report an incident.

Cyber Hygiene is mandatory, not aspirational

The Notice’s six measures are legally binding. Evidence that one slipped, an unpatched system, a missing MFA, is exactly what an inspection surfaces.

The board is on the hook

MAS expects senior management and the board to own technology risk. That accountability needs evidence behind it, not just minutes that say it was discussed.

The incident clock is one hour

A relevant incident must be reported to MAS within an hour of discovery, with root-cause analysis to follow. Scattered evidence makes that nearly impossible.

How it works

One continuous loop, from connected systems to inspection-ready

Compyl runs your MAS program as an always-on cycle, TRM controls, Cyber Hygiene measures, and evidence stay in sync automatically.

Connect

Integrate cloud, identity, code, endpoint, and HR systems.

Collect evidence

Pull audit evidence automatically, in real time.

Map to measures

Link every artifact to its Cyber Hygiene measure or TRM control.

Monitor

Watch controls continuously and flag drift early.

Stay inspection-ready

What MAS expects

TRM, Cyber Hygiene, and accountability

MAS expectations span binding measures and supervisory guidance. Compyl maps live evidence to each one.

Automated evidence

Stop assembling MAS evidence by hand

When MAS inspects, you prove compliance with evidence, not assertions. Compyl collects it continuously from the systems you already run and maps each artifact to the measure or control it supports.

Evidence Health · New in 26.2

Know your evidence is inspection-ready, automatically

Collecting evidence is only half the battle; stale or incomplete proof is where inspections go sideways. Evidence Health continuously scores every artifact the moment it changes, so a slipped measure surfaces before an inspection, not during one.

Continuous monitoring

Catch control drift before the regulator does

MAS can inspect at any time, and incidents are reported on the hour. Compyl monitors every measure continuously, scores your posture in real time, and turns the moment a control slips into a tracked task.

Two instruments, one program

The Notice binds; the Guidelines guide

MAS expectations come in two forms. Compyl keeps you evidence-ready for both, and for the inspection that tests them.

The Notice

Legally binding measures

The Notice on Cyber Hygiene mandates six baseline measures. Non-compliance is a regulatory matter, not a best-practice gap.

Status: Legally binding on financial institutions
Scope: Six mandatory baseline measures
With Compyl: Live evidence each measure is in force

The Guidelines & clock 1 hour

Supervisory expectations

The TRM Guidelines set broader expectations MAS supervises against, while the MAS Notices on Technology Risk Management make the 1-hour incident report legally binding.

TRM Guidelines: Supervisory technology-risk expectations
Incident clock: Notify MAS within one hour
With Compyl: Inspection-ready evidence on demand

What is MAS, and how does Compyl help?

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) sets technology-risk expectations for financial institutions through the Technology Risk Management (TRM) Guidelines and the legally binding Notice on Cyber Hygiene. There’s no certificate, MAS supervises and inspects, and expects board and senior-management accountability, six baseline cyber-hygiene measures, strong third-party risk management, and incident notification within one hour of discovery. Compyl operationalizes MAS expectations. It connects to your systems, maps the six Cyber Hygiene measures and the TRM Guidelines to live evidence, tracks third-party and outsourcing risk, scores evidence health, and keeps an inspection-ready trail, so you can demonstrate compliance to the regulator and hit the 1-hour incident clock.

MAS

What’s the difference between the MAS TRM Guidelines and the Cyber Hygiene Notice?

MAS supervises rather than certifies. Two instruments matter most for technology risk, and they carry different legal weight.

Instrument	Legally binding?	What it covers	With Compyl
Notice on Cyber Hygiene	Yes	Six baseline measures: admin accounts, patching, security standards, network perimeter, malware protection, MFA	Each measure mapped to live evidence from identity, endpoint and cloud systems
Technology Risk Management Guidelines	Guidance the regulator expects to see followed	Governance, IT resilience, third-party risk, incident response, cyber surveillance	Board-level reporting, vendor risk records and incident workflow
Incident reporting	Yes	Notify MAS within one hour of discovering a relevant incident	Incident timeline with the notification record
Outsourcing guidelines (being replaced by third-party risk guidelines)	Guidance	Due diligence and ongoing monitoring of service providers	Vendor onboarding, assessments and continuous monitoring

FAQ

MAS questions, answered

What are the MAS technology-risk requirements?

MAS sets technology-risk expectations for Singapore financial institutions through the Technology Risk Management (TRM) Guidelines and the legally binding Notice on Cyber Hygiene. There is no certificate, MAS supervises and inspects, expecting board accountability, six baseline cyber-hygiene measures, third-party risk management, and rapid incident reporting.

What is the Notice on Cyber Hygiene?

The Notice on Cyber Hygiene is a legally binding MAS notice that mandates six baseline measures: securing administrative accounts, applying security patches, enforcing security standards, network perimeter defence, malware protection, and multi-factor authentication. These are requirements, not recommendations.

How fast must incidents be reported to MAS?

MAS expects financial institutions to notify it within one hour of discovering a relevant incident, followed by a root-cause and impact analysis report within 14 days, as required by the MAS Notices on Technology Risk Management. Meeting that clock requires evidence and response workflows that are ready in advance.

How does Compyl automate MAS compliance?

Compyl maps the six Cyber Hygiene measures and the TRM Guidelines to live evidence, monitors controls continuously, tracks third-party and outsourcing risk, scores evidence health, and keeps an inspection-ready trail, so you can prove compliance to the regulator and hit the 1-hour clock.

How does Compyl score evidence quality?

Compyl 26.2 introduced Evidence Health, which continuously scores every piece of evidence on relevance, freshness, and completeness, with an AI summary of gaps, so a slipped measure surfaces before an inspection, not during one.

Can MAS work satisfy other frameworks?

Yes. MAS TRM controls overlap heavily with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST. Compyl cross-maps each control so a single control and its evidence satisfy MAS alongside 70+ other frameworks. Collect once, reuse everywhere.

Who is Compyl’s MAS solution designed for?

Security, technology-risk, and compliance teams at banks, insurers, payment firms, and other MAS-regulated financial institutions in Singapore, and the CISOs and risk officers accountable to the board and the regulator.

Is MAS changing the TRM Notice?

Yes, it is proposed. In June 2026 MAS consulted on amendments covering areas including IT asset management, change management, continuous monitoring, immutable and offline backups, incident management and downtime monitoring. The new requirements would apply 12 months after the amended Notice is issued.

What are the new MAS Third-Party Risk Management Guidelines?

Proposed in March 2026, they would replace the MAS Outsourcing Guidelines, extend lifecycle oversight to most third-party arrangements rather than only outsourcing, and require a register of third-party arrangements. MAS proposed they take effect six months after issuance.
