Abstract

Existing compliance management frameworks (CMFs) offer a multitude of compliance management functionalities for the modeling of specific norms for specific domain and compliance checking of normative requirements. This makes difficult for enterprises to decide on a framework suitable for their compliance requirements. Making a decision on the suitability requires a deep understanding of the functionalities of a framework. Gaining such an understanding is a difficult task which, in turn, requires specialised tools and methodologies for evaluation. Current compliance research lacks such tools and methodologies for evaluating CMFs. This paper reports a methodological evaluation of existing CMFs based on pre-defined evaluation criteria. Our evaluation highlights what existing CMFs can offer, and what they cannot. Also, it underpins various open questions and discusses the challenges in this direction.
