IT compliance of industrial information systems: Technology management and industrial engineering perspective

IT compliance is one of the hottest issues in IT and technology management fields. The purpose of this paper is to provide a common framework for IT compliance. First, a review on the compliance age is provided. Second, the characteristics of business records communicated via industrial information systems are described shortly. Finally, an IT compliance framework is suggested. The framework of this paper is not proven by industrial studies because the spread of IT compliance and the industrial response to it are still under progress. Future works should prove the practical value of this framework and should include technical studies. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
