Mapping processes and resources is a foundational activity in operational resilience, enabling an organisation to understand how its critical business services (CBS) are delivered end-to-end.

For the Philippine Trust Company, CBS-1 Deposit and Account Services represents a core banking function that directly impacts customers, financial stability, and regulatory compliance.

In alignment with BSP Circular No. 1203, financial institutions are required to identify and map the people, processes, technology, and third-party dependencies supporting each critical service.

This mapping ensures that the bank can identify vulnerabilities, assess concentration risks, and design effective response and recovery strategies under disruption scenarios.

Purpose of the Chapter

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive mapping of processes and supporting resources for each Sub-CBS under Deposit and Account Services. It enables stakeholders to:

  • Understand end-to-end service delivery architecture
  • Identify critical dependencies and single points of failure
  • Support impact tolerance setting and scenario testing
  • Demonstrate compliance with BSP operational resilience requirements

This mapping also serves as a baseline for subsequent activities such as dependency mapping (MD), impact tolerance (iTo), and scenario testing (ST).

Regulatory Alignment and Operational Resilience Considerations

In accordance with BSP Circular No. 1203, Philippine Trust Company is expected to:

  • Map critical dependencies across internal and external resources (as shown above)
  • Identify Important Business Services (IBS) and ensure continuity under severe disruption
  • Establish impact tolerances (e.g., maximum tolerable downtime for deposit services)
  • Conduct scenario testing using mapped dependencies (e.g., system outage, third-party failure)
  • Manage third-party risks, especially for payment networks, ATM providers, and cloud services
Example Regulatory Applications:
  • Failure of a core banking system (CBS) must be recoverable within a defined RTO to avoid systemic disruption
  • Disruption in digital banking channels (1.11) must not exceed customer impact thresholds
  • Dependency on payment networks (e.g., InstaPay/PESONet) must include fallback arrangements

 

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

The mapping of processes and resources for CBS-1 Deposit and Account Services provides Philippine Trust Company with a clear, structured view of how its most critical service operates across people, processes, technology, and third parties. This holistic visibility is essential for identifying vulnerabilities, managing interdependencies, and ensuring resilience under stress scenarios.

By aligning with BSP Circular No. 1203, this mapping not only supports regulatory compliance but also strengthens the bank’s ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions.

It forms a critical foundation for subsequent operational resilience activities, including impact tolerance setting, design of severe but plausible scenarios, and resilience testing, ultimately ensuring continuity of service to customers and stability of the financial system.
