As reported in our blog earlier this year MAS guidelines are set to change the way financial institutions conduct business in Singapore.
Now, nearly four months past the compliance date of July 2014, we are revisiting the guidelines that surround the regulations. Non-compliance was said to result in the following implications for financial institutions:
- Financial penalties
- Reputational damage
- Revocation of licence to operate in Singapore
How many have fallen fowl of the penalties to date? We aren’t sure, but what we do know is if you are late in meeting the TRM Guidelines how BeyondTrust can help.
The TRM Guidelines specify technology processes and controls that financial institutions should implement in a range of functional areas, including risk management oversight and framework, system reliability, availability and recoverability, access control, provision of online services and payment mechanisms. The guidelines are broad and detailed—to a level previously only seen in the PCI DSS industry standards.
Features
BeyondTrust offers an integrated IT Risk Management Platform that helps financial institutions in their compliance efforts across two key areas:
- Privileged account management to enforce least-privilege best practices and provide the access employees need to perform their jobs safely, without obstructing IT or end-user productivity
