Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is all about using current technology to automate tasks, thereby increasing productivity and accuracy. There are certainly interesting ideas for the practical use of RPA.
For example, the idea of expanding the audit coverage. As Lead Auditors we often sample sections of a standard, as it would be futile and never-ending to audit every clause and sub clause, but with RPA these processes can be done for the full standard (ISO 27001 / ISO 22301) in the background, providing a better picture of the current environment.
I could go on as I think this form of automating structured processes, will not only have a great uptake but the benefits it provides such as faster operations and increased efficiency will certainly make a difference.
