Pre-empting your RPA concerns
Challenges
• Acceses & Security, ISO27001 rules must be respected
at
each phase of the ABX approach and be considered when
applications outside of Capgemini network.
• Acceptance and avoid reluctance to change.
• Intrusiveness , Automation should act on top layers
of information system and applications
• Post-Production Management, ensure the best
conditions of execution with necessary tools to guarantee
continuity and value.
What to do?
• Use an RPA solution already ISO27001 certified
Manage Credentials & Accesses through encrypted
Features ( Windows Credentials) and Group IT compliant
Architecture.
At mid-term assess the ABX offer and certify it ISO27001
See Appendix: Security
• The ABX Community ensures communication,
evangelisation and knowledge transfer and trainings.
• Choose simulation mode while automating to reproduce
Front Human actions on interfaces and applications to not
compromise integrity.
• Standard or Personalized Monitoring tools with features to
act quickly and efficiently on automation capabilities.
