Abstract

This paper reports on the potential of process mining as a basis for security audits of business process and corresponding business process management systems. In particular, it focuses on process discovery as a means to reconstruct process-related structures from event logs, such as the process' control flow, social network and data flows. Based on this information, security analysis to determine the compliance with security and privacy requirements can be automated.
