Implement Systems Reliability Availability and Recoverability + Data Centre Resilience per MAS TRM Chapters 7 + 8. Chapter 7 Systems Reliability + Availability + Recoverability - Recovery Time Objective (RTO) definition + testing + Recovery Point Objective (RPO) definition + testing + system downtime tracking + Business Continuity Plan (BCP) + Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) + crisis management + tabletop exercises + simulation exercises + full-scale annual DR test + Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD) + Maximum Tolerable Data Loss (MTDL) + critical system identification + system criticality categorisation + dependency mapping + cascading failure analysis. **MAS NOTICE 644 PARAGRAPH 5 BINDING REQUIREMENT**: System downtime no more than 4 hours within any 12-month period for systemically-important systems (systemically-important systems = systems supporting essential financial services + critical business functions + supporting D-SIB operations). Chapter 8 Data Centre Resilience - Tier III or higher data centre + geographically separated primary and secondary + active-active or active-passive configuration + power resilience (UPS + generators + 2N + N+1) + cooling redundancy + fire suppression + physical security + environmental monitoring + Service Organization Control (SOC 2 Type 2) + ISO 22301 BCMS alignment + cloud DR alternatives + multi-region cloud architecture. Annual DR test mandatory + reported to Board + remediation tracked + lessons learned.
