New call-to-action

In the context of operational resilience, establishing appropriate impact tolerances is crucial for ensuring that Metrobank’s critical business services can continue to operate under a range of adverse conditions.

Impact tolerance refers to the maximum level of disruption to a service or process that is acceptable before significant harm occurs to customers, the organization, or its regulatory obligations.

For CBS-10 Overseas Remittance and Foreign Exchange Services, this involves defining clear parameters for the Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD), Maximum Tolerable Data Loss (MTDL), and the potential impacts on customers, regulatory requirements, and operational effectiveness.

In this chapter, we will examine the impact tolerances for each detailed process (Sub-CBS) under CBS-10 by mapping out the tolerance levels and associated risks.
