2012 Annual Report - Media Prima Berhad

• Business Continuity Plan
Business Continuity Planning aims to minimise the
impact of disruptions during a disaster while
maximising resources available to resume normal
operations. The Board recognises that it is crucial
to ensure business continuity in case of significant
disruption or disaster. The Business Continuity Plan
(BCP) for the Group is being continuously reviewed
to reflect changes in risk profiles and organisational
structure. This Plan focuses on the sudden inability
for the Group to provide services to its stakeholders
due to the loss of physical assets, broadcasting
and printing capability. In this respect, the Group
has formulated a comprehensive plan that covers
all actions to be taken before, during and after a
disaster, with the following objectives:
– Minimise disruption of services to all levels of
clients and stakeholders;
– Minimise financial loss;
– Ensure a timely (and prioritised) resumption of
business operations in the event of disaster or
disruption;
– Provide particular emphasis on information
services and computer operations, given the
integral relation between Information and
Communications Technology and all parts of
key operations;
– Ensure a safe and secure working environment
and provide other assistance to help staff cope
with the disruption and their individual
workloads; and
– Provide adequate communications internally
and externally in the event of disaster or
disruption to operations.
During the year, the following initiatives were
carried out in regards to business continuity and
disaster recovery:
1. A consultant has been commissioned to
enhance MPB’s business continuity plan
solution formulation for critical processes.
2. Management Information Services (MIS) had
conducted a disaster recovery simulation for
all key IT systems to ensure the disaster
recovery plan for each of the systems are
accurate and viable.
3. Radio Networks had constructed a playout
system at a ‘warm site’ to effectively recover
in the event of a disaster at radio conty
locations.
4. The Business Continuity Plan for MPB is
continuously updated to reflect the changes
of the business within the Group.
