Understanding Financial Services Security

Singapore is Asia's leading financial centre, home to over 200 licensed banks and more than 1,500 MAS-regulated entities — from global bank headquarters in the CBD to fintech firms in one-north and asset managers across the island. Financial institutions operate under stringent MAS Technology Risk Management Guidelines and ABS security standards that mandate robust physical security controls across all premises.

PICO Guards deploys officers with financial sector training who operate within the regulatory demands of this industry. Our teams manage branch and office security, coordinate cash handling logistics, and maintain secure access across restricted zones — all backed by 24/7 SIOC command monitoring and fully digital compliance reporting.
