“Enabling innovative technologies legally.”

The research group “Law in Sustainability, Compliance and IT” works at the interface between law and IT in the Institute for Information Systems at Hof University of Applied Sciences. We see ourselves as “enablers” of projects, work in interdisciplinary technology-open teams and help shape the product development process from the very beginning.

We want to contribute to the further development of the legal framework, particularly with regard to legal issues relating to digitalisation, data governance, Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, compliance and legal research using IT methods. In our research, data governance covers the areas of data use, data protection, data quality, data security, openness and transparency, and the non-discriminatory effect of data use.

The aim is to find solutions that are suitable for application in line with the law and compliance. Law in innovative technology fields is always also risk management. Here, the research group develops application-suitable solutions at the interface between law and IT with the latest findings from current research projects together with the users. We visualise these with business process management tools and research IT integration, e.g. through process mining or in agile structures.
