In alignment with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas requirements under BSP Circular No. 1203 Series of 2024, financial institutions are required to develop a comprehensive understanding of how critical business services are supported by underlying processes and resources.

The “Map Processes and Resources” stage is a foundational component of operational resilience, ensuring that all elements—people, processes, technology, and third parties—are identified and linked to each sub-critical business service (Sub-CBS).

This enables the bank to understand vulnerabilities, manage interdependencies, and respond effectively to disruptions.

Regulatory Alignment and Operational Resilience Considerations

Under BSP Circular No. 1203 Series of 2024, the following requirements are addressed through this mapping:

  • End-to-End Mapping of Critical Business Services
    Banks must identify and document all resources supporting critical services, including interconnections and dependencies.
  • Identification of Critical Dependencies
    This table highlights reliance on third parties such as payment networks, cloud providers, and KYC vendors.
  • Technology and Cyber Resilience Integration
    Critical systems (CBS, mobile banking, fraud systems) must have redundancy, monitoring, and recovery capabilities.
  • Third-Party Risk Management
    External providers (e.g., ATM networks, AML databases) must be assessed for resilience and included in continuity planning.
  • Support for Scenario Testing and Impact Tolerance
    The mapping provides the foundation for testing severe but plausible scenarios and defining maximum tolerable disruption levels.

 

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

The mapping of processes and resources for CBS-1 Deposit and Account Services provides a comprehensive view of how Union Bank of the Philippines delivers one of its most critical services.

By clearly identifying the relationships between processes, people, technology, and third-party providers, the bank strengthens its ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions.

This structured mapping is not only a regulatory requirement but also a strategic enabler of resilience.

It supports subsequent stages, such as impact-tolerance setting, development of severe but plausible scenarios, and scenario testing—ensuring the bank can maintain service continuity and protect customers even under adverse conditions.
