Scenario testing evaluates Bank Islam’s ability to maintain SME and Corporate Financing Services within established impact tolerances during severe but plausible disruptions.
This process focuses on testing response and recovery measures rather than prevention, ensuring resilience across critical processes while integrating cyber and ICT risk considerations. The outcomes provide actionable insights for continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.
