Automation Anywhere, a enterprise software provider in Robotic Process Automation (RPA), has announced that its platform is compliance-ready with GDPR.
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law goes into effect on May 25, 2018. It is designed to simplify and unify data privacy laws across Europe and give citizens in the European Union (EU) unprecedented control of their Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
As Robotic Process Automation tools are often used to automate business processes that involve the use of personal information, Automation Anywhere said compliance with GDPR is essential for its customers.
“The protection of privacy and compliance with GDPR is critically important to our customers around the globe, and there can be unforgiving financial penalties for companies that do not comply completely,” added Abhijit Kakhandiki, SVP of products and engineering at Automation Anywhere. “Automation Anywhere provides the most feature-rich and secure Intelligent Digital Workforce platform in the market and it is now GDPR compliance-ready to meet the privacy imperatives of every customer.”
The company claims to offer several advantages and efficiencies in processing operations that involve PII to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements in usage of PII for appropriate purposes, data protection by design and breach notification.
Automation Anywhere Enterprise includes detailed immutable audit logs, as well as the ability to log the intended purpose to help enterprises ensure that PII information is only used for appropriate business purposes.
GDPR requires that enterprises take all measures to protect sensitive data such as PII. With this in mind, Automation Anywhere claims its Enterprise boasts several security features to protect personal information by design, including Strong encryption of data, credential vault to ensure secure storage and management of user credentials, granular application of Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and integration with enterprise credential stores.
Its security features also include secure operations to ensure the data used by bots is not exposed to security threats, as well as detailed, immutable audit logs to support any audit process and forensic analysis.
For breach notification, audit logs monitor all operational processes within the platform, continuously authenticating users and their authorization status at every stage of an automated business process. In the event of a data breach, its auditing is capable of launching a rapid root cause analysis, providing timely forensic analysis for the identification and reporting of breach Automation Anywhere incidents.
The company’s roaster includes Google, LinkedIn, Mastercard, ANZ, ING, the World Bank, Rabobank, KMPG, PWC and Accenture, among others.
