Mapping Processes and Resources is a foundational step in Kenanga Investment Bank’s Operational Resilience journey for CBS-1 Securities Broking & Trade Execution.
This chapter translates the identified critical business service into a clear, observable operational reality by mapping each Sub-CBS to the people, processes, technology, third-party arrangements, and dependencies that enable the service to be delivered to clients.
Consistent with the 2025 BNM Discussion Paper on Operational Resilience, this mapping is designed to:
This chapter, therefore, acts as a bridge between service identification and downstream resilience activities such as severe-but-plausible scenario testing and investment prioritisation.

In line with the 2025 BNM Discussion Paper on Operational Resilience, this mapping explicitly:
Identifies important business services down to a granular Sub-CBS level
Maps people, technology, facilities, and third-party dependencies, including market infrastructures (e.g. exchanges, custodians)
Supports identification of severe but plausible disruptions, such as:
Loss of OMS connectivity to Bursa Malaysia
Unavailability of a custodian bank during settlement windows
Cyber disruption affecting client onboarding and trade reporting platforms
BNM expects such mappings to be living artefacts, reviewed after material changes (system upgrades, outsourcing changes, regulatory updates) and used actively in scenario testing and resilience investment decisions, not merely documented for compliance.
The Map Processes and Resources exercise for CBS-1 Securities Broking & Trade Execution provides Kenanga Investment Bank with a clear, evidence-based view of how this critical service is delivered under normal conditions—and where it is most vulnerable under stress.
By linking each Sub-CBS to its supporting processes, people, technology, third parties, and dependencies, Kenanga establishes the foundation required by regulators to:
• Define impact tolerances with confidence
• Design severe-but-plausible scenario testing
• Prioritise resilience enhancements where client and market harm would be greatest
This mapping is not the end state. It is the starting point for embedding operational resilience into daily decision-making, investment planning, and crisis response for one of Kenanga Investment Bank’s most critical market-facing services.
