MAS TRM & TVRA compliance audit
Independent audit and threat modelling services aligned to the Monetary Authority of Singapore's Technology Risk Management and Threat & Vulnerability Risk Assessment guidelines.
Cross-border cybersecurity attestation
For financial institutions, digital banks and service providers operating in Singapore or managing cross-border transactions, the MAS TRM guidelines represent a key standard. Failure to meet these requirements can prevent vendor onboarding, stall licensing or lead to regulatory actions.
nCrypt delivers professional, independent audit reviews aligned to MAS standards — evaluating your active networks, testing physical datacentres against structural threat profiles, running logical vulnerability scans and verifying SecDevOps processes.
Pillars of MAS TRM & TVRA compliance
Logical & network segregation review
Audit of perimeter defenses, firewall access rules, DMZ zones and subnet boundaries separating critical banking layers from public vectors.
Physical facility threat auditing (TVRA)
Comprehensive physical boundary audits mapping access logs, power utility redundancy, fire protection and response procedures to MAS standards.
SecDevOps & software integrity review
Evaluation of the application security framework: source code vulnerability checks, library security patching and secure release controls.
Administrative governance & controls
Audit of privileged identity access (PAM), user role reviews, credential rotation rules and security incident response playbooks.
Threat intelligence & resilience mock runs
Modelling active threat groups and executing mock phishing and breach tabletop exercises to measure containment efficacy.
Attestation reports & gap registers
Examiner-ready compliance logs and signed independent audit certificates for submission to boards or Singapore regulators.
MAS assessment phases
Scoping & architecture map
We identify critical assets, data flows and physical facilities. We review logical and network topologies to map in-scope systems.
Policy & technical gap audit
Reviewing IT security policies, database access patterns, encryption keys lifecycle and checking compliance gaps against the guidelines.
Threat modeling & penetration testing
Drafting the threat library and modeling attack paths, backed by active vulnerability scans and application penetration testing.
Risk evaluation & control mapping
Evaluating control effectiveness, calculating residual risk and preparing a detailed action plan to mitigate compliance gaps.
Board readout & signed handover
Delivering the examiner-ready compliance pack, briefing key stakeholders, and issuing the independent compliance attestation.
