Abstract
Modern enterprise systems are often process-driven and, thus, rely heavily on process-aware information systems. In such systems, high-level process-models play an important role both for communicating business requirements between domain experts and system experts as well as basis for the system implementation. Since several years, enterprise system need to fulfil an increasing number of the security and compliance requirements. Thus, there is an increasing demand for integrating high-level security and compliance requirements into process models, i. e. a common language for domain experts, system experts, and security experts. We present a security modelling language, called SecureBPMN, that can easily be integrated into business process modelling languages. In this paper, we exemplary integrate SecureBPMN into BPMN and, thus, present a common language for describing business process models together with their security and compliance requirements.
Zusammenfassung
Moderne Unternehmensanwendungen müssen die Unternehmen dabei unterstützen, ihre Geschäftsprozesse effizient auszuführen. In solchen Anwendungen spielen abstrakte Geschäftsprozessmodelle eine zentrale Rolle. Die Geschäftsprozessmodelle werden für die Kommunikation zwischen Geschäfts- und IT-Experten genutzt und dienen darüber hinaus als Basis für die Implementierung der Unternehmensanwendungen. Seit einigen Jahren müssen Unternehmensanwendungen einer steigenden Anzahl von Sicherheits- und Compliance-Anforderungen genügen. Hieraus ergibt sich ein gesteigertes Bedürfnis nach der Integration von Sicherheits- und Compliance-Anforderungen in die Geschäftsprozessmodelle. In diesem Artikel stellen wir die Modellierungssprache SecureBPMN vor, welche es erlaubt, Sicherheitsanforderungen im Kontext von Geschäftsprozessmodelle zu spezifizieren.
