[BCM] [BT] [E4] [R] [BCS] [P1] Mitigation Strategies and Justification

New call-to-action

The ability to maintain continuity in procurement and supply chain operations is vital to the sustained delivery of Bandtree Brunei’s services.

As a government-linked company operating within the infrastructure and real estate management sector, Bandtree relies heavily on its network of suppliers, vendors, and logistical support systems to meet its obligations.

Any disruption to procurement-related functions can result in delays, cost escalations, and reputational risk.

Part 1: BCS - Mitigation Strategies and Justification

BCS Report [Part 1]

This section, BCS Part 1: Mitigation Strategies and Justification, presents a comprehensive assessment of identified threats affecting Bandtree’s operations and assets.

It outlines the existing control measures, evaluates residual risks, and proposes additional mitigation strategies based on industry best practices and organisational context.

Each mitigation strategy is supported by a clear justification to ensure alignment with the company's business continuity principles and operational priorities.

This is a structured Mitigation Strategies table for Bandtree, incorporating the BCM Institute's guidance note for “Part 1: Mitigation Strategies” and contextualising for property management:

Table BCS P1: Mitigation Strategies and Justification for Bandtree

Threat

Existing Controls

Risk Rating

Risk Level

Risk Treatment (Residual Risk)

Additional Mitigation Strategy

Justification for Selected Mitigation Strategy

Fire outbreak in managed buildings

Fire extinguishers, fire alarms, evacuation plans, and fire drills

High (e.g., 16)

High

Risk Reduction

Install automatic fire suppression (sprinklers), heat detectors, and integrate with 24/7 monitoring.

Automatic systems significantly reduce fire spread, lower damage and loss of life—cost vs benefit supports reduction.

Theft/ vandalism of assets

CCTV, security guards, and access card entry

Medium-High (e.g., 12)

High

Risk Reduction / Transfer

Enhance perimeter fencing, install intruder detection sensors, and outsource advanced security services.

Physical barriers, combined with technology and expert services, raise deterrence, facilitate faster crime detection, and share risk through outsourcing.

ICT system outage

Basic IT infrastructure, some redundancies, backup power

Medium-High (e.g., 12)

High

Risk Reduction / Transfer

Implement fully redundant systems, establish an SLA with an external IT provider, and purchase technology insurance.

Redundancy minimises downtime; outsourcing and insurance help transfer residual risk.

Natural disaster (flooding, storms)

Elevated building design, emergency SOPs

Medium (e.g., 9)

Medium

Risk Reduction / Avoidance

Move critical servers to an off-site or cloud backup location; install flood sensors and backup generators.

Off-site/cloud backup ensures data resilience; generators and sensors reduce downtime and damage.

Regulatory non‑compliance (building codes, safety)

Periodic internal audits, staff awareness

Medium (e.g., 9)

Medium

Risk Reduction

Contract third-party compliance audits annually; conduct recurring training sessions.

External audits increase objectivity; training ensures staff maintain up‑to‑date compliance awareness.

Workplace accidents/ injuries

Basic PPE, incident reporting, and safety induction

Medium (e.g., 9)

Medium

Risk Reduction

Regular safety drills, hire a certified safety officer, and periodic refresher training.

Professional safety oversight and training reduce the likelihood of accidents, making prevention a cost-effective measure.

Summing Up ...

Effective risk mitigation is not solely about implementing controls—it is about selecting the right strategies, tailored to the organisation’s context, risk appetite, and operational dynamics.

This chapter has identified and analysed key threats faced by Bandtree and proposed targeted mitigation strategies to address them.

By leveraging both preventive and corrective measures—including technological upgrades, physical safeguards, outsourcing, and policy improvements—Bandtree can reduce the likelihood and impact of operational disruptions.

The justifications provided ensure that every proposed strategy is not only practical and cost-effective but also aligned with the organisation's strategic goals.
