Business Continuity Management Policy by Malaysia Central Bank

The Business Continuity Management (BCM) policy framework released in December 2022 outlines expectations for financial institutions operating in Malaysia to strengthen resilience and preparedness in the face of disruptions.

The framework establishes a structured approach for managing and mitigating operational disruptions, ensuring the continuity of critical services, and safeguarding the interests of customers, stakeholders, and the broader financial system.

It addresses key components of business continuity, including governance structures, risk assessments, business impact analysis, recovery strategies, and communication protocols. By aligning with these expectations, financial institutions can enhance their ability to respond effectively to potential disruptions such as natural disasters, cyber incidents, system failures, and other unforeseen events.

Core elements of the framework include the roles and responsibilities of the board and senior management, the development and maintenance of a comprehensive BCM programme, and the establishment of procedures for reporting significant disruptions to the relevant supervisory authority. These elements promote a proactive and structured approach to operational resilience.

In this eBook, we provide an independent analysis of the BCM policy framework, offering practical insights into its structure and application. Whether you are seeking to strengthen your organisation’s business continuity capabilities or deepen your understanding of regulatory expectations, this guide is designed to support informed implementation and strategic planning.

Explore the key components of the framework, understand their implications for financial institutions, and discover practical considerations for enhancing resilience and operational continuity in an evolving risk environment.
