CBF-6: Corporate Services and IT Infrastructure
In the event of a disaster or business disruption, it is essential to ensure that critical business functions continue with minimal interruption.
This chapter outlines the minimum resources required for each sub-function under CBF-6 Corporate Services and IT Infrastructure to maintain operations during a disaster.
These resources are designed to enable swift recovery and ensure the organisation can continue delivering key services. By identifying and pre-positioning these resources, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) can ensure business continuity and resilience.

Ensuring the availability of the minimum required resources for each critical business function under CBF-6 Corporate Services and IT Infrastructure is essential for the Ministry of Manpower's ability to respond effectively to disasters.
These resources, which range from staff, seating arrangements, and communication tools to specialised equipment and systems, are pivotal in maintaining the operations and continuity of the Ministry.
The preparation of such resources helps reduce downtime, supports swift recovery, and minimises the impact on service delivery, thereby enhancing the Ministry’s resilience during adverse situations.
