The recent development of the information communication environment and information systems is accelerating and diversifying. Furthermore, the acceleration of information infrastructure building has generalized information systems in all industry and service fields, increasing their size and range. The expansion of major information communication infrastructure projects, the systematic framework of information systems, and strategies capable of building and managing integrated information systems are important.
The purpose of the present study is to positively research the improvement of operation and audit inspection items for major information communication infrastructure, with a focus on emergency response systems. In detail, the study deducted the improvement of operation and audit inspection items capable of diagnosing the operation and management levels of major information communication infrastructure, with a focus on adequate emergency response.
A survey was formed based on the inspection items for major information communication infrastructure as presented in the study, with 67 subjects surveyed and the results analyzed. Furthermore, the effectiveness test for the survey involved items on IT task experience and ITSM-based IT service operation and management experience, operation and management experience in major information communication infrastructure, items on the operation and audit needs of major information communication infrastructure, items on audit inspection items centering on emergency response systems and, audit inspection item suitability assessments.
The research results revealed that the audit inspection items in the service provision area, the service support area, the continued service improvement area, and the emergency response system area as being extremely necessary.
Studies on vitalization plans for operation and audit improvement for major information communication infrastructure from an emergency response perspective are almost nonexistent. Out of the five audit areas of the audit model presented in preceding studies based on ITSM, which has ITIL v3 as its conceptual model, continued improvement is maintained as it is, while the remaining four inspection items are reassigned to the two areas of service provision an service support, which is dealt with in ITIL v2, so that the audit areas are simplified from the five audit areas of ITIL v3 to three audit areas. Because ITIL v3 often overlaps with the questions of the audit methodology of ITIL v2, despite being a simplified methodology, the study used ITIL v2 rather than v3, which carries many audit areas. Also, by introducing an emergency response system that is not dealt with in ITIL v2 and v3, the study was able to develop and research a methodology that can be applied to other information systems beyond major information technology infrastructure, which may be regarded as its academic significance.
Also, the study is able to greatly contribute in improving the reliability of auditing and defect discovery in terms of audit results, through improved models and detailed inspection items, which are capable of checking lacking areas that fail to be inspected for their operation and management of general information systems, by additionally comparing and analyzing the analysis assessments standards of major information communication infrastructure SLA and vulnerabilities in ITIL based management operation and audit inspection items in previous studies. Furthermore, the study is practically significant in that it performed research on audit inspection items for emergency response systems in terms of security, which was not sufficient in existing operation and auditing.
