Today’s businesses are inherently process-driven. Consequently, the use of business-process driven systems, usually implemented on top of service-oriented or cloud-based infrastructures, is increasing. At the same time, the demand on the security, privacy, and compliance of such systems is increasing as well. As a result, the costs—with respect to computational effort at runtime as well as financial costs—for operating business-process driven systems increase steadily.
In this paper, we present a method for statically checking the security and conformance of the system implementation, , on the source code level, to requirements specified on the business process level. As the compliance is statically guaranteed—already at design-time—this method reduces the number of run-time checks for ensuring the security and compliance and, thus, improves the runtime performances. Moreover, it reduces the costs of system audits, as there is no need for analyzing the generated log files for validating the compliance to the properties that are already statically guaranteed.
