Consolidated Report for Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-1 to CBF-9 for Kinderland


Table S3: Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-1 to CBF-9 documents the minimum level of resources required to sustain or recover each Critical Business Function (CBF) during a disruptive incident.

This table forms a core component of the Business Continuity Strategy (BCS), translating impact and recovery requirements into tangible, deployable resources that must be available under adverse conditions.

The table identifies, for each Sub-CBF, the minimum staffing levels, workstations, telecommunications, computing equipment, recovery locations, and any additional essential resources needed to maintain continuity of operations.

By defining these requirements upfront, the organisation ensures that recovery efforts are realistic, prioritised, and aligned with operational resilience objectives, even when operating under constrained conditions.

This chapter supports decision-making during crisis response, validates the feasibility of recovery strategies, and provides an auditable reference for regulators, management, and crisis teams on the resources that must be mobilised to meet defined recovery time and service level expectations across all nine Critical Business Functions.

Table S3: Minimum Resources Required During a Disaster for CBF-1 to CBF-9 provides a consolidated and structured view of the essential resources required to support business continuity across the organisation.

By clearly defining minimum requirements at the Sub-CBF level, the table bridges the gap between high-level continuity objectives and practical, executable recovery actions.

The information captured in this table enables effective crisis response planning, supports resource pre-positioning and alternate site readiness, and strengthens coordination between business units, human resources, IT, facilities, and external service providers.

It also serves as a critical validation tool to ensure that recovery strategies are achievable within existing organisational constraints.

Collectively, this table enhances the organisation’s operational resilience posture, supports compliance with business continuity and resilience standards, and ensures that critical services can be sustained or restored in a controlled and timely manner during a disaster.
