Licensed credit bureaus must establish a framework to identify critical systems and maintain high availability, ensuring maximum unscheduled downtime does not exceed 4 hours within any 12-month period. Each critical system requires a recovery time objective of no more than 4 hours, with validation and documentation of system recovery testing conducted at least annually. Upon discovering a relevant incident, bureaus must notify the Authority within 1 hour and submit a root cause and impact analysis report within 14 days. Additionally, licensed credit bureaus are required to implement IT controls to protect relevant person information from unauthorized access or disclosure.
