CBF 6: Information Systems & Records Management

The identification of critical business functions within the Information Systems & Records Management domain is foundational to ensuring Bandtree Sdn Bhd’s operational resilience and continuity. 

Purpose of Chapter

This chapter outlines the key functions and sub-processes that support the management, protection, and availability of the company’s ICT infrastructure, applications, records, and data.

By clearly defining these functions, Bandtree can establish appropriate recovery priorities, allocate resources efficiently, and implement effective continuity strategies.

Understanding these business functions also facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements and supports the safeguarding of vital corporate information assets, which are essential for ongoing property management operations and organisational governance.

Definition of MBCO

The MBCO establishes the minimum acceptable level of activity that must be sustained to prevent serious consequences to the business, its stakeholders, and national operations.

By defining these priorities, Bandtree ensures that critical facilities services can continue, be restored quickly, or be adapted during adverse events to meet both regulatory and operational demands.
