The Central Bank of Bahrain rules on business continuity, and how ADVOX helps licensees build and test programmes that meet them.
The Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) is the single regulator for banking, insurance, investment business and capital markets. Its business continuity rules sit in the CBB Rulebook.
Each volume of the Rulebook (conventional banks, Islamic banks, insurance, investment business and specialised licensees) has an Operational Risk Management module with a chapter on business continuity. It covers board and senior management responsibilities, developing a business continuity plan, recovery levels and objectives, alternate sites for business and technology recovery, and maintaining, testing and reviewing the plan.
CBB Rulebook ↗The same OM modules include outsourcing and security-measures requirements, including cyber security. Third-party recovery commitments and cyber incident response should be built into the continuity plan rather than handled separately.
Central Bank of Bahrain ↗The international management-system standard for business continuity. Organisations in Bahrain can use it to structure a programme that also meets CBB expectations.
