Services: Logical Flow Analysis
Goal
Identification of unattractive features and vulnerabilities in a newly developed or existing process.
Initial Situation
The customer provides us with the existing concept (process) and all related documentation (e.g. manuals, meeting minutes, etc.).
Approach
- Preparation: Definition of the goals as well as collection and discussion of the existing concept.
- Review: Review and analysis in order to determine errors and unattractive features.
- Discussion: Documentation and discussion of the identified errors and of the suggested measures.
Result
The customer is provided with a document that discusses the incorrect or unattractive features of the existing concept or the involved processes, respectively. These points are analyzed and the risks assessed, and appropriate countermeasures are indicated.
Pros and Cons
Processes are the basis for a secure solution. This allows to lay the foundation for the success of a project through a well though-out approach. As specialists, this enables us to point out problems and issues at an early stage before they can take root within a company.
Reference Example
Logical Flow Analysis Banking System: A Swiss financial institution had completely revised its banking system. We performed a logical flow analysis of the organizational and technical processes in order to discover potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses. We developed and employed a transition analysis, which was designed to avoid hidden transactions and discover problems with escalation mechanisms.
