Digitalisation of the ISDS core process for the Canton Aargau​

The successful collaboration between adesso and the Canton of Aargau again enabled the digitization of Information Security and Data Privacy (ISDP) through a centralized, automated solution capable of managing future related processes. Leveraging the Low-Code platform, this application provides standardized risk assessments, automates decision-making processes and ensures full compliance with all regulatory requirements.​

Challenge

The ISDP process of the Canton Aargau has evolved over time through established procedures but remained largely manual and fragmented. As regulatory demands and organizational complexity increased, it became evident that a more integrated and automated approach would bring significant benefits. Identified areas for enhancement:​

  • Lack of a centralized platform for managing risk and compliance​
  • Limited real-time visibility into threats and mitigation measures​
  • Inconsistent risk evaluation practices across departments​
  • Time-intensive manual tracking and documentation​

Benefits for the Client

The results enhanced transparency, standardization and, above all, responsiveness in the face of evolving security and data protection requirements. The new digital solution led to significant improvements across the board:​

  • 1000 forms processed with remarkable ease within the digital platform​
  • A significant reduction in manual workload​
  • Collaboration of 5,000 users on the platform​
  • Real-time process monitoring available to all stakeholders​
  • Improved accuracy and consistency in risk assessments

Solution

adesso developed and implemented a centralized digital solution using the Flowable platform, enabling:

  • Dynamic forms tailored to user inputs about information security and data protection​
  • Automated decision-making to assess protection needs and trigger DPIAs​
  • Centralized dashboards with full visibility into ISDP status and risk tracking​
  • Standardized risk identification, based on regulatory best practices​
  • PDF generation for official documentation sharing

Customer testimonial

What impressed us most throughout the project was the collaboration: adesso constructively challenged our requirements, provided clear recommendations, and quickly translated them into functioning software.
