The work processes that are required to fulfill and maintain compliance are usually complex and long running processes that are composed of many interdependent human lead activities. Errors of human work activities and also material and equipment defects can lead to non-compliance. A monitoring framework is proposed that based on data entries of compliance officers can track compliance work processes and provide compliance officers with activity guidance. Main activity failures can be detected through failure detection functions that analyze the activity log, failure indicators, and also external data. Based on the proposed framework environmental information systems can be extended towards actively responding systems that guide compliance officers and provide them with assistance for risk control tasks.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
