Abstract: Abstract IT compliance is one of the main challenges for Information Systems, not only because it is difficult to implement compliant applications, but because it requires very high investments and expenditures. Companies involved by IT compliance can pursue two different behaviours: the Compliance view considers IT compliance merely like a duty to accomplish with, and related cost as a necessary expenditure. The Governance view on the contrary considers IT compliance rules like an opportunity to improve administrative processes and information quality, and related cost like an investment able to create satisfactory returns. In this paper, these two views are described, especially focusing on Governance view and benefits deriving from its implementation in companies. A business case is also examined, describing the implementation of IT compliance applying the Governance view in a large and global Italian group.
