[OR] [EWB] [E3] [CBS] [1] [MPR] Map Processes and Resources

x [OR] [EWB] Title Banner

Mapping Processes and Resources is a critical step in the Operational Resilience framework as it enables an organisation to understand how its Critical Business Services (CBS) are supported end-to-end.

For Deposit and Account Services (CBS-1), this mapping provides a structured view of the interdependencies among processes, people, technology, and third parties essential to delivering services to customers.

In accordance with BSP Circular No. 1203 Series of 2024, Philippine banks are required to identify and document key business services and their supporting resources, including internal and external dependencies.

This ensures that institutions can effectively respond to disruptions and maintain service continuity within defined impact tolerances.

Regulatory Alignment and Operational Resilience Considerations

In accordance with BSP Circular No. 1203 Series of 2024, the following requirements are addressed in this mapping:

1. Identification of Critical Resources

Banks must identify the people, processes, technology, and third parties that support critical services.

  • Example: Fraud monitoring relies on AI systems + external analytics vendors + fraud analysts
2. Mapping of Interconnections and Interdependencies

Institutions must map how disruptions in one component impact others.

  • Example: Failure in the core banking system affects transactions, reporting, and digital channels
3. Third-Party Risk Management

Banks must assess reliance on external vendors.

  • Example: ATM networks, cloud providers, and KYC vendors are critical third-party dependencies
4. End-to-End Service Visibility

Mapping must demonstrate full service flow across lifecycle stages.

  • Example: From onboarding → KYC → account opening → transactions → reporting
5. Support for Scenario Testing and Impact Tolerance

The mapping enables:

  • Identification of single points of failure
  • Design of severe but plausible scenarios
  • Validation of maximum tolerable disruption levels

 

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

The mapping of processes and resources for CBS-1 Deposit and Account Services provides EastWest Banking Corporation with a holistic view of its operational ecosystem, ensuring that all supporting elements—people, processes, technology, and third parties—are clearly identified and interconnected.

By aligning with BSP Circular No. 1203, this structured mapping strengthens the bank’s ability to anticipate disruptions, manage dependencies, and maintain service continuity.

It also serves as a foundational input for subsequent stages of operational resilience, including impact tolerance setting, scenario testing, and continuous improvement of resilience capabilities.

Ultimately, this mapping enhances the institution’s ability to deliver reliable, secure, and uninterrupted banking services, even under severe but plausible disruption scenarios.
