CBS-2 Delivery / Logistics / Parcel Services (GrabExpress, last-mile delivery)
Introduction
Scenario testing is a core component of operational resilience implementation. It enables organisations such as Grab Indonesia to evaluate how well critical business services (CBS) continue to operate under severe but plausible disruptions.
For CBS-2: Delivery / Logistics / Parcel Services (GrabExpress, Last-Mile Delivery), scenario testing ensures that Grab’s ecosystem — comprising drivers, partners, customers, and digital platforms — can maintain reliable parcel delivery even during crises.
The testing focuses not only on operational disruptions (e.g. supply chain delays or transport breakdowns) but also integrates cyber and ICT risk events such as platform outages, data breaches, or system failures.
By conducting structured tests across each sub-process, Grab can identify vulnerabilities, verify the adequacy of mitigation plans, and demonstrate proactive risk management and resilience assurance to stakeholders and regulators.

CRM system outage or chatbot malfunction leading to poor customer response. |
Incident response drill conducted with a post-mortem improvement plan. |
|
CBS-2.7 |
Fleet / Partner Management |
Scenario test: large-scale driver unavailability due to policy strike or app malfunction. |
Cyber intrusion compromising partner data or fleet access systems. |
Compliance review of data protection and partner re-engagement plan. |

Cloud infrastructure outage or unauthorised access to the tracking database. |
Test logs of system redundancy and access control audit trail are maintained. |
|
CBS-2.10 |
Regulatory, Safety, and Compliance |
Scenario test delayed compliance reporting due to system outage or data inaccessibility. |
Compromise of the regulatory submission system or a data integrity breach. |
Compliance incident report and recovery time verification documented. |
|
CBS-2.11 |
Continuous Improvement & Innovation |
Test the adoption of a new logistics AI system, causing operational inconsistency or downtime. |
AI model corruption or system misconfiguration due to cyber intrusion. |
Controlled sandbox testing records and post-deployment review findings. |
Summing Up …
The scenario testing framework for CBS-2: GrabExpress (Delivery / Logistics / Parcel Services) provides a structured approach to validate Grab Indonesia’s operational resilience.
Each test is designed to reflect a severe but plausible disruption and integrates cyber and ICT considerations to align with the evolving digital risk landscape.
By documenting the test results, Grab not only strengthens its preparedness but also demonstrates proactive risk management through evidence such as test logs, recovery metrics, and audit trails.
This holistic testing approach enhances stakeholder confidence and regulatory compliance under the BSP Operational Resilience framework and aligns with ISO 22316: Security and Resilience — Organisational Resilience principles.
