AI Governance for MAS TRM Compliance
The Monetary Authority of Singapore's TRM Guidelines set the gold standard for technology risk management in financial services. WalledAI provides the infrastructure layer that maps directly to TRM requirements - giving your compliance team audit-ready evidence while your teams innovate with AI safely.
What is MAS TRM?
The MAS Technology Risk Management Guidelines provide a comprehensive risk management framework for financial institutions in Singapore. As AI adoption accelerates in banking, insurance, and capital markets, TRM compliance requires institutions to demonstrate control over how AI systems handle data, make decisions, and interact with third-party providers.

TRM Requirement Mapping
See exactly how WalledAI maps to key MAS TRM requirements - giving your compliance team clear, defensible evidence.
Technology Risk Governance
TRM §4Financial institutions must establish a robust technology risk governance framework with clear accountability, risk appetite, and board-level oversight.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Governance Dashboard provides real-time risk posture visibility for board reporting
- Custom risk policy uploads align AI usage to institutional risk appetite
- Role-based access ensures clear accountability across departments
- Automated audit trails satisfy regulatory evidence requirements
Data Loss Prevention
TRM §9.2Institutions must implement adequate safeguards to protect customer data from unauthorised access, disclosure, and leakage - especially when data flows through external service providers.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Walled Redact masks PII, financial records, and NRIC numbers before data reaches any LLM
- On-premise deployment ensures customer data never leaves the institution's boundary
- Data Classification engine auto-tags data by confidentiality and departmental ownership
- Synthetic placeholder replacement preserves AI utility without exposing real data
Access Controls
TRM §9.1Stringent access controls must govern who can access systems and data, with role-based restrictions, multi-factor authentication, and principle of least privilege.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Enterprise RBAC with granular permissions per user, team, department, and model
- Policy-driven access ensures only authorised personnel interact with sensitive AI workflows
- Complete access logs with user identity, timestamp, and action audit trails
- Integration with existing IAM/SSO infrastructure for seamless governance
System Reliability & Resilience
TRM §7Critical systems must maintain high availability, with robust testing, change management, and incident response procedures.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Walled Correct validates AI outputs against ground truth before delivery
- Configurable confidence thresholds prevent unreliable responses from reaching users
- Hallucination detection ensures factual accuracy in financial advisory and reporting
- Automated escalation routes low-confidence outputs to human review
Outsourcing & Third-Party Risk
TRM §5.2Institutions using external AI/cloud providers must ensure oversight, due diligence, and contractual safeguards over outsourced technology services.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Sits as a governance layer between your teams and any LLM provider
- Full visibility into what data is sent to - and received from - third-party AI models
- Content filtering and prompt injection detection mitigate third-party model risks
- Deployment flexibility: on-premise, private cloud, or air-gapped for maximum control
Audit & Monitoring
TRM §11Continuous monitoring, logging, and independent audits of technology systems must be maintained to detect and respond to risks in a timely manner.
How WalledAI addresses this:
- Every AI interaction logged with full context: user, query, response, policy applied
- Governance Dashboard surfaces anomalies, policy violations, and usage patterns
- Exportable compliance reports for MAS inspections and internal audits
- Real-time alerting on policy breaches and suspicious activity patterns
