Welcome to MASTER

MASTER is a collaborative project funded under the EU 7th Research Framework Programme. It is aligned to the strategic objective 1.4 Secure, dependable and trusted infrastructures defined by the European Commission in the FP7 ICT Work Programme 2007 - 2008.

MASTER will provide methodologies and infrastructure that facilitate monitoring, enforcement, and auditing of security compliance, especially where highly dynamic service oriented architectures are used to support business process enactment in single, multi-domain, and iterated contexts.

In MASTER, we focus on the regulatory requirements related to IT support of application of security policies to business processes in organizations. From the view point of regulatory compliance, MASTER brings added value in two main respects. Firstly, it provides an approach to implementation and maintence of auditable provisions to achieve and assure compliance with a set of regulatory requirements. Secondly, it provides a oncrete implementation of this approach, specifically to Service Oriented Systems.
