Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) need a specialized computer audit method to minimize quality and security risks and facilitate institutional evaluation and accreditation. This study aimed to develop a Computer Audit Method for HEIs (MAIIES) providing methodological support for the computer audit process. The MAIIES method includes planning, execution, communication of results, validation, and follow-up of the audit exercise with 47 activities. The validation phase resulted in an evaluation instrument with 42 variables for quality and 18 for security, forming a multivariate model measuring quality and security dimensions. The model comprises factors such as human, technical, contextual, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The MAIIES method provides a comprehensive audit framework, facilitating compliance with quality and security standards and identifying areas of improvement. It offers a strategic approach for minimizing quality and security risks in HEIs through a comprehensive computer audit process, enabling institutional evaluation and accreditation by ensuring compliance with quality and security standards and identifying areas of improvement.

质量和安全是高等院校开展计算机审计的关键因素

高等教育机构（HEIs）需要一种专门的计算机审计方法，以最大限度地降低质量和安全风险，促进机构评估和认证。本研究旨在开发一种高等院校计算机审计方法（MAIIES），为计算机审计过程提供方法支持。MAIIES 方法包括计划、执行、结果交流、验证以及审计工作的后续活动。验证阶段产生了一个评估工具，其中包括 42 个质量变量和 18 个安全变量，形成了一个衡量质量和安全维度的多元模型。该模型包括人、技术、背景、保密性、完整性和可用性等因素。MAIIES 方法提供了一个全面的审计框架，有助于遵守质量和安全标准，并确定需要改进的领域。它提供了一种战略方法，通过全面的计算机审计流程最大限度地降低高等院校的质量和安全风险，通过确保符合质量和安全标准并确定需要改进的领域，实现机构评估和认证。

期刊介绍： JOTSE is an international Journal aiming at publishing interdisciplinary research within the university education framework and it is especially focused on the fields of Technology and Science. JOTSE serves as an international forum of reference for Engineering education. Teaching innovation oriented, the journal will be issued twice per year (every 6 months) and will include original works, research and projects dealing with the new learning methodologies and new learning supporting tools related to the wide range of disciplines the Engineering studies and profession involve. In addition, JOTSE will also issue special numbers on more technological themes from the different areas of general interest in the industrial world, which may be used as practical cases in classroom tuition and practice. Thereby, getting the working world reality closer to the learning at University. Among other areas of interest, our Journal will be focused on: 1. Education 2.General Science (Physics, Chemistry, Maths,…) 3.Telecommunications 4.Electricity and Electronics 5.Industrial Computing (Digital, Analogic, Robotics, Ergonomics) 6.Aerospatial (aircraft design and building, engines, materials) 7. Automotive (automotive materials, automobile emissions).
