APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR AUDITING SECURITY SETTING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To confirm security policies set for each timing of a job sequence, in accordance with the execution timing of processes in the job sequence. SOLUTION: A security sequence policy storage part 101 stores a workflow which defines the execution order of a plurality of processes and which defines it as a transition condition for transition to a predetermined process that security setting to a predetermined terminal to be monitored satisfies the security policies. When a process is executed, a job flow control part 105 issues a setting determination instruction when the transition condition for transition to the next process is set. When the setting determination instruction is issued, a security setting auditing part 110 determines whether the security setting to the terminal to be monitored satisfies the security policies stored as the transition condition. When it is determined that the security policies are satisfied, the job flow control part 105 allows the transition to the next process. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
