Process Register domains

The Process Register domain type enables you to create domains for:

  • Storing your Business Process assets.
  • Mapping your Business Process assets to the data consumed and produced by those processes.

Maintaining complete Process Register domains helps organizations to:

  • Comply with data transparency requirements.
  • Respond to consumer access requests and other consumer rights.
  • Manage security and prevent data breaches.
  • Manage Service Level Agreements with third parties.
  • Leverage investments made to comply with a specific regulation, for other use cases, such as compliance with another data privacy regulation or data catalog use cases.

Note As advised in the section Setting up your community-domain structure, we strongly recommend that you create a Process Register domain for each of your communities and subcommunities.
