BEA Laws, Regulations and Policies
The Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) derives its compliance constraint requirements from the laws, regulations and policies that govern the business functional areas covered in the BEA. The BEA Laws, Regulations and Policies Baseline is delivered with the BEA to provide users with a current set of compliance constraints and their linkages to the BEA. These are also expressed in the architecture via three products:
1. As controls on the OV-5
2. As business rules in the OV-6a and
3. As mappings to the OV-6c
In order to manage these laws, regulations and policies, a tool called Telelogic DOORS is used, which stands for Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System. DOORS is complementary to the BEA’s architecture tool, Telelogic System Architect. It is also fully synchronized and integrated with System Architect. This integration allows a direct mapping of the laws, regulations and policies into the architecture. While DOORS maintains the BEA’s laws, regulations and policies compliance baseline, the architecture remains the authoritative source for laws, regulations and policies.
