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

New call-to-action

In alignment with the operational resilience requirements set out in BSP Circular No. 1203, Series of 2024, financial institutions, such as the Philippine National Bank (PNB), are required to develop a comprehensive understanding of how critical business services are delivered.

A key component of this requirement is the mapping of processes and resources, which provides end-to-end visibility of the operational ecosystem supporting each critical business service.

For CBS-1 Retail Deposit and Account Services, this mapping identifies the interdependencies between processes, people, technology, and third parties.

It ensures that PNB can proactively identify vulnerabilities, assess potential points of failure, and implement resilience measures to maintain service continuity in the face of severe but plausible disruptions.

Introduction

[OR] [PNB] [PH] [E3] [CBS] [1] [MPR] Retail Deposit & Account Services

In alignment with the operational resilience requirements set out in BSP Circular No. 1203, Series of 2024, financial institutions, such as the Philippine National Bank (PNB), are required to develop a comprehensive understanding of how critical business services are delivered.

A key component of this requirement is the mapping of processes and resources, which provides end-to-end visibility of the operational ecosystem supporting each critical business service.

For CBS-1 Retail Deposit and Account Services, this mapping identifies the interdependencies between processes, people, technology, and third parties.

It ensures that PNB can proactively identify vulnerabilities, assess potential points of failure, and implement resilience measures to maintain service continuity in the face of severe but plausible disruptions.

Purpose of the Chapter

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a structured, detailed mapping of all processes and supporting resources for each Sub-CBS within Retail Deposit and Account Services. This enables stakeholders to:

  • Understand the end-to-end delivery chain of retail banking services
  • Identify critical dependencies and single points of failure
  • Support impact tolerance setting and scenario testing
  • Demonstrate compliance with regulatory expectations under BSP Circular 1203
  • Strengthen the bank’s ability to respond, recover, and continue operations during disruptions

Regulatory Alignment and Operational Resilience Considerations

Under BSP Circular 1203, Philippine banks must:

  • Identify and map critical business services and their dependencies
    → Demonstrated through mapping of processes, people, technology, and third parties

  • Ensure end-to-end visibility of interconnections and interdependencies
    → Reflected in upstream/downstream dependencies across Sub-CBS

  • Strengthen third-party risk management
    → Inclusion of vendors such as payment networks, cloud providers, and KYC utilities

  • Support scenario testing and impact tolerance setting
    → This mapping provides foundational data for subsequent resilience activities

  • Maintain recovery capabilities and continuity plans
    → Sub-CBS 1.15 explicitly aligns with business continuity and disaster recovery expectations

 

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

The mapping of processes and resources for CBS-1 Retail Deposit and Account Services provides the Philippine National Bank with a comprehensive and structured view of how this critical service is delivered.

By identifying the intricate relationships between operational processes, human resources, enabling technologies, and third-party providers, the bank establishes a strong foundation for operational resilience.

This level of visibility is essential not only for regulatory compliance with BSP Circular 1203 but also for enabling proactive risk management, effective incident response, and sustained service delivery during disruptions.

As PNB progresses to subsequent stages—such as impact tolerance setting and scenario testing—this mapping serves as a critical reference point for building a resilient and adaptive banking operation.
