In addition, since emerging IT infrastructure such as cloud computing calls for storing enormous amount of confidential and sensitive information, it is imperative that these data must be appropriately handled according to the agreements. Those new disruptive trends will greatly change the notions of the information security governance calling for more fine-grained, data-centric, and risk-adjusted governance models with the innovative implementation technologies.

We seek to bring together researchers and practitioners who are working on the problems and the technology of governance for security, risk management, and the compliance verification. Topics include, but are not limited to:
