Control of Information and Communication Technology: an Integrity Problem
A. W. Neisingh · 1997
Information and communication technology (ICT) is on the move. Developments and improvements are introduced almost on a daily basis. Examples are Electronic Commerce, Internet and for instance client server technology. The management of organizations is confronted with these enhancements in technology and face new control problems. It is not easy to introduce new ICT in an organization and remodel the organization in such a way that management control remains in place. Controllability requires standardisation of control and security requirements and this is unfortunately for management possible at a strategical and tactical level and not at an operational level. A translation from tactical to operational level should be done by each company itself, however most of the times the experience in the organization is missing.
