Part 3: Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster

BCS Report [Part 3] 

This section outlines the baseline requirements for recovering and maintaining each critical business function (CBF), with a specific focus on CBFs 1 through 8.

Only the CBFs with 1-hour to 8-hour RTO will be presented in this section.

It includes detailed resource needs such as personnel, workspace, communication tools, computing devices, and other functional tools or systems necessary to sustain operations at designated recovery locations.

This structured approach ensures that Bandtree is adequately prepared to resume critical operations in a timely and efficient manner following a disruption.

Summing Up ...

Identifying and documenting the minimum resource requirements for each critical business function strengthens Bandtree’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively during a disaster.

By pre-defining the essential human, technological, and logistical inputs necessary at recovery sites, Bandtree ensures the resilience of its property and facilities management operations.

These resource allocations form the foundation for recovery planning and serve as a key reference for recovery teams during actual incidents.

Moving forward, these resource requirements will be periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in business operations, technology, and risk exposure, reinforcing Bandtree’s commitment to business continuity and national infrastructure stability.
