[BCM] [KL] [E3] [BCS] [T2] [CBF] [9] Recovery Strategies

CBF-9 Facility Management and Security

Facility Management and Security is a critical business function for Kinderland, as it directly affects the safety, well-being, and confidence of children, parents, staff, and regulators.

Disruptions to facilities, security systems, or safety processes can lead to immediate operational suspension, regulatory non-compliance, and reputational damage.

This chapter defines the recovery strategies for CBF-9, ensuring that Kinderland’s facilities remain safe, secure, and operational during and after a disruptive incident.

The strategies are developed in accordance with BCM mitigation principles such as redundancy, alternate facilities, manual workarounds, and pre-arranged vendor support, with recovery objectives aligned to the nature and criticality of each sub-function.

Table S2: Recovery Strategies for CBF-9

Sub-CBF Code	Sub-CBF	RTO	Recovery Strategy	Recovery Location	Details of Recovery Strategy	Justification for Selected Recovery Strategy
9.1	Facility Operations & Maintenance	24 hours	Alternate site operations and outsourced facilities support	Alternate Kinderland centre / Approved temporary premises	Engage pre-approved facilities vendors for urgent repairs, utilities restoration, and cleaning services; relocate critical activities to alternate centres where feasible	Facility operations can tolerate short disruption, but extended downtime impacts safety and service continuity; outsourcing and alternate sites provide cost-effective resilience
9.2	Security Systems & Access Control	4 hours	Redundant systems and manual security controls	Primary site with fallback manual controls	Activate backup power and secondary access control systems; deploy security staff for manual access verification and perimeter monitoring	Security breaches pose immediate safety risks; rapid recovery is essential, and redundancy combined with manual controls ensures continuous protection
9.3	Emergency Preparedness & Safety	Immediate (0–2 hours)	Manual procedures and pre-defined emergency response plans	On-site	Execute emergency response plans, evacuation procedures, and incident command structure; coordinate with SCDF, police, and medical services	Emergency response cannot be delayed; reliance on trained staff and documented procedures ensures immediate action regardless of system availability
9.4	Health & Safety Compliance	24 hours	Manual records and regulatory coordination	Primary site / Corporate office	Use hardcopy safety records, inspection checklists, and incident logs; liaise with regulators and inspectors if systems are unavailable	Compliance activities can be temporarily managed manually; maintaining records supports regulatory assurance and audit readiness
9.5	Visitor Management	8 hours	Manual visitor registration and verification	Primary site	Implement manual logbooks, ID verification, and staff escort procedures until digital systems are restored	Visitor management is important for security, but can be effectively managed manually for short periods without major operational impact

The recovery strategies for CBF-9 Facility Management and Security ensure that Kinderland can maintain a safe, secure, and compliant environment even during disruptive incidents.

By combining redundant systems, manual workarounds, alternate locations, and vendor support, Kinderland adopts a pragmatic and risk-based approach consistent with BCM best practices.

These strategies prioritise child safety and regulatory compliance, while balancing operational feasibility and cost.

When integrated with regular training, drills, and vendor reviews, they strengthen Kinderland’s overall resilience and reinforce stakeholder confidence in its ability to manage and recover from facility-related disruptions effectively.
