Notes for BCM Institute's Course Participants: This is the template for completing the "Part 3: BCS - Minimum Resources Required during a Disaster"
CBF 2: Infrastructure Operations
In the event of a disaster or significant business disruption, the ability to resume and sustain critical operations depends heavily on the timely availability of essential resources.
As a government-linked company under Darussalam Assets, Bandtree plays a vital role in managing national infrastructure and corporate properties across Brunei Darussalam. Given this responsibility, a structured approach to identifying and provisioning minimum resources is necessary to ensure business continuity.
Purpose of Chapter
This chapter outlines the minimum resource requirements for each Critical Business Function (CBF) and its associated sub-processes during a disaster.
These include staffing levels, workspace availability, communication tools, computing equipment, and other specialised tools or systems needed to resume operations at designated recovery locations.
By defining these requirements in advance, Bandtree can mitigate operational downtime, safeguard service delivery, and maintain stakeholder confidence during times of crisis.
Here is the requested table for Critical Business Function (CBF-2 ): Infrastructure Operations for Bandtree. The structure follows the BCM Institute's Part 3: Minimum Resources Required format.

Summing Up ...
Defining and securing the minimum resources necessary for recovery is an essential step in Bandtree’s broader Business Continuity Strategy.
This chapter has established the baseline operational needs for each sub-function under the identified Critical Business Functions, enabling a swift and structured response when disruptions occur.
By aligning recovery resource planning with Bandtree’s operational realities and infrastructure complexity, the organisation enhances its resilience, reduces recovery timeframes, and supports the continuity of national infrastructure services.
Continuous review and testing of these minimum requirements will further ensure preparedness and adaptability in the face of future disruptions.
