Abstract

Technology assurance practices have become central to efforts aimed at strengthening operational resilience across U.S. regulated sectors, including finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. This integrative review examines how audits, compliance mechanisms, governance frameworks, and emerging-technology controls are discussed in the recent peer-reviewed literature. Drawing on a synthesis of recent peer-reviewed studies, the analysis reveals recurring attention to traditional compliance-oriented approaches alongside growing interest in adaptive practices and data-protection balances. Studies consistently identify resource constraints, static checklists, and dynamic threats as barriers that limit the translation of assurance activities into sustained resilience. In financial and healthcare contexts, audits and regulatory implementation show promise for risk mitigation but frequently lack integration with broader operational strategies. Similar patterns appear in utility-sector discussions of cyber-physical threats and in examinations of AI governance, where qualitative reviews emphasize ethical and compliance balances without extensive empirical outcome data. Disclosure quality and framework application are linked to market or organizational responses, yet long-term quantitative evaluation remains underdeveloped. Overall, the literature suggests alignment around the identification of barriers and the need for adaptive cultures, while remaining fragmented on consistent linkages to resilience outcomes and silent on cross-sector empirical validation. These insights point to practical implications for regulated organizations seeking to move beyond compliance checklists toward more responsive assurance systems. The review contributes a grounded perspective on current evidence and highlights targeted areas for future inquiry.
