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.

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 audit-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 audit-ready

Hand auditors a current evidence pack on demand.

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 audit-ready — automatically

Collecting evidence is only half the battle; stale or incomplete proof is where audits go sideways. New in Compyl 26.2, Evidence Health continuously scores every artifact the moment it changes, so weak evidence surfaces weeks before an audit — not during it.

Every artifact scored on relevance, freshness, and completeness
An AI summary spells out exactly what's missing and why
Re-scores automatically whenever the underlying evidence changes
Continuous control monitoring done right — gaps surface with time to fix

Continuous monitoring

Catch control drift before the auditor 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.

Live posture across every Cyber Hygiene measure and TRM control
Automatic alerts the moment a control drifts out of compliance
Remediation tasks auto-assigned with owners and deadlines
An inspection-ready, time-stamped trail with 1-hour incident readiness

Collect once, reuse everywhere

Your MAS work becomes a head start on every other framework

MAS TRM controls overlap heavily with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST. Compyl cross-maps each one so a single piece of evidence satisfies every framework and the regulator at once.

What MAS expects

TRM, Cyber Hygiene, and accountability

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

Binding

Cyber Hygiene Notice

Six mandatory baseline measures: secure admin accounts, patching, security standards, network defence, malware protection, and MFA.

Guidance

TRM Guidelines

MAS’s supervisory expectations for technology and cyber risk management across the institution.

Tone at top

Board oversight

Senior management and board accountability for technology risk — backed by evidence, not just minutes.

Outsourcing

Third-party risk

Due diligence and ongoing oversight of vendors and outsourcing arrangements that touch critical systems.

1-hour

Incident reporting

Notify MAS within an hour of discovering a relevant incident, with root-cause analysis to follow.

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

Where Compyl helps: live evidence each measure is in force

THE GUIDELINES & CLOCK

Supervisory expectations

The TRM Guidelines set broader expectations MAS supervises against — and a relevant incident starts a 1-hour reporting clock.

TRM Guidelines: supervisory technology-risk expectations

Incident clock: notify MAS within one hour

Where Compyl shines: inspection-ready evidence on demand

Why Compyl for MAS

Not a checkbox tool — a continuous compliance engine

Plenty of tools store a policy. Compyl keeps MAS compliance true every day — binding measures, board evidence, and inspection-ready proof.

Continuous, not point-in-time

TRM controls, Cyber Hygiene measures, and evidence stay live year-round, so an MAS inspection finds a program that runs.

One connected system

Controls, evidence, risks, and policies in one platform — not a stack of disconnected tools.

125+ integrations

Pulls live data from the stack you already run, so posture reflects reality, not snapshots.

Agentic AI

AI maps controls, drafts remediations, and offloads busywork — your team stays in control.

Multi-framework by design

MAS evidence carries over to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST without redoing the work.

FAQ

MAS questions, answered

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.

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.

MAS expects financial institutions to notify it within one hour of discovering a relevant incident, followed by a root-cause and impact analysis within a defined window. Meeting that clock requires evidence and response workflows that are ready in advance.

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.

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.

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 20+ other frameworks. Collect once, reuse everywhere.
