[OR] [MB] [E4] [CBS] [1] [MPR] Map Processes and Resources

New call-to-action

This chapter presents the comprehensive mapping of processes and resources for the critical business service (CBS) identified as CBS-1: Retail and SME Loans within Maybank Malaysia.

In alignment with regulatory expectations for operational resilience—particularly those outlined by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and international standards such as ISO 22301 and ISO 22316—this mapping exercise serves as a foundational step in understanding how each functional component of the CBS is operationalised and supported.

Each sub-component of the CBS (Sub-CBS) is examined to identify the underlying business processes, personnel, technology, third-party service providers, and upstream/downstream dependencies.

Map Processes and Resources for

CBS-1: Retail and SME Loans

[OR] [MB] [E4] [CBS] [1] [MPR] Map Processes and Resources

This chapter presents the comprehensive mapping of processes and resources for the critical business service (CBS) identified as CBS-1: Retail and SME Loans within Maybank Malaysia.

In alignment with regulatory expectations for operational resilience—particularly those outlined by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and international standards such as ISO 22301 and ISO 22316—this mapping exercise serves as a foundational step in understanding how each functional component of the CBS is operationalised and supported.

Each sub-component of the CBS (Sub-CBS) is examined to identify the underlying business processes, personnel, technology, third-party service providers, and upstream/downstream dependencies.

This granular breakdown not only enhances visibility over Maybank’s loan processing lifecycle—from origination and onboarding to servicing, monitoring, and recovery—but also enables the organisation to pinpoint single points of failure, assess risk concentrations, and formulate robust business continuity and recovery strategies.

Ultimately, this structured mapping supports the bank’s goal of sustaining uninterrupted service delivery to retail and SME customers, even under adverse operating conditions.

Notes for Compliance and Operational Resilience
  • Each Sub-CBS is mapped to specific people, systems, vendors, and dependencies to identify single points of failure and ensure continuity planning.
  • Particular focus is placed on third-party vendors and technology dependencies, per Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) RMiT guidelines and ISO 22301 BCM requirements.
  • This mapping enables impact tolerance testing, improved incident response, and robust recovery planning.

Summing Up ...

The structured mapping of processes and resources across all sub-CBS elements of Retail and SME Loans provides Maybank with a vital lens to assess operational vulnerabilities, enhance response capabilities, and ensure the continuity of mission-critical services.

By clearly identifying the supporting people, systems, vendors, and interdependencies, the organisation gains the ability to proactively manage risks and reduce service disruptions that could impact customers or regulatory obligations.

This chapter lays the groundwork for subsequent activities such as impact tolerance setting, scenario testing, and crisis response planning.

It is a key milestone in operationalising resilience at the service level, ensuring that Maybank can continue to uphold customer trust and regulatory compliance in an increasingly complex and interconnected financial landscape.
