In alignment with regulatory expectations, this mapping ensures that DBP can:

  • Identify important business services and supporting assets
  • Understand interconnections across people, processes, technology, and third parties
  • Detect vulnerabilities and concentration risks
  • Support scenario testing, impact tolerance setting, and recovery planning

Regulatory Alignment with BSP Circular No. 1203 (2024)

The above mapping aligns with key expectations from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Circular No. 1203, including:

  • Identification of Critical Business Services
    CBS-1 is clearly defined with granular Sub-CBS components
  • Mapping of Interconnections and Dependencies
    Each Sub-CBS includes people, process, technology, and third-party dependencies
  • End-to-End Process Visibility
    Upstream and downstream dependencies ensure full service flow traceability
  • Technology and Third-Party Risk Management
    Explicit identification of fintech partners, payment networks, and vendors
  • Support for Scenario Testing and Impact Tolerance
    This mapping provides the foundation for:
    • Severe but plausible scenarios (e.g., system outage, cyberattack)
    • Determination of Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD)
    • Recovery strategies and continuity planning

Banner [Summing] [OR] [E3] Map Processes and Resources

The Map Processes and Resources for CBS-1 Deposit and Account Services provides a holistic and structured view of how DBP delivers its core banking services, highlighting the critical dependencies that sustain operations. By documenting the interplay between people, processes, technology, and third parties, DBP strengthens its ability to anticipate disruptions, respond effectively, and recover within acceptable impact tolerances.

More importantly, this mapping serves as a foundational artefact for operational resilience, enabling the bank to progress into subsequent stages such as impact tolerance setting, severe but plausible scenario identification, and scenario testing. In compliance with BSP Circular No. 1203, DBP is better positioned to ensure continuity of critical services, protection of customers, and maintenance of financial system stability.
