انطباق سیستم های اطلاعات صنعتی: مدیریت فناوری و چشم انداز مهندسی صنایع

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.

IT compliance is a mandatory responsibility of a company and its management for their survival. Some people may argue that IT compliance is useless enforcement anyway because they worry that it might not produce any economic value or improvement of corporate competitiveness. It is hard to make any rash conclusions about this argument in the current situation. This paper lacks a description of the value and necessity of IT compliance. However, we must be prepared regarding IT compliance issues because it is clear that most countries are trying to develop new legislation which will spread the requirements of IT compliance. The framework suggested in this paper is not an optimized or proven one, but it might be a meaningful prototype of an IT compliance framework. This framework should be verified and improved with future work including an industrial case study. Furthermore, a variety of technical studies should be conducted to increase the practical value of this paper.
