Hi Boer,
This is a developer list, and usually we redirect the question here to the jBPM User Forum.
Your questions in this case are targeted to development team, so I think that is ok.
jBPM is a lightweight framework that you can embed in your applications, so most of the time all the security aspects are delegated to the application that is embedding jbpm. All the users and roles will be coming from the application, so the application is the one that should check authorizations and authentications of the users and their actions.

The process engine itself make sure that the data is kept in a consistent state at all times, so you don't need to worry about that.

Cheers

Hello jBPM community,

 

Capgemini is planning to implement jBPM for a large customer.

My role in this project is security advisor, but unfortunately I’m not familiar with jBPM.

Could someone from the community please inform me (or send documents) about the security aspects of jBPM. Anything will help.

 

Security aspects more in detail:

-          Confidentiality

o   Access control mechanism

o   Administrator’s roles

o   Access to storage

-          Integrity

o   Ensure data not to be changed without permission by “owners” of data or process

o   Ensure data not to be changed due to system problems

o   Change of data will be detected

-          Availablity

o   Ensure access to data when needed

o   Features to ensure no data loss

o   Features to prevent data loss

-          Non Repudiation

o   Proof of access to documents and processes

o   Secure logging (tamper free)

o   Tampering of logfiles should be detected

 

Please feel free to inform me about other aspects of security.

Please contact me on jan.de.boer@capgemini.com

Best regards and lots of thanks in advance.

Jan

Don’t think network security and firewalls will protect your information.
The vulnerability lies in your employees.
