OSA Actors
Generic roles used across OSA patterns to ensure consistency and clarity.
The OSA framework uses generic roles called "actors" to ensure consistency across patterns.
"An actor is a prototypical business role...OSA patterns visualize with actors, the set of responsibility that can be assigned to a prototypical role, in a given setup."
Actor Model
We have created an actor model (version 06) that you can download as a PDF.
Reference Model Evaluation
Before developing our actor model, we evaluated existing reference frameworks against specific criteria:
- Security-relevant actors must be present
- Public availability without costly fees
- Multi-industry/multi-country adoption
- Independence from single-company control
Models evaluated: - CLASP roles (OWASP) - ITIL v3 roles
