A dependable process incorporates the characteristics of being audible, diverse, documentable, robust, redundant and standardized. Implementation that utilizes such characteristics have been proven to result in a sustainable product that is reliable and offers an acceptable level of security and resiliency. Consequently one would conclude that the derivative product (being the software) would inherit those same characteristics.

A common saying of “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind with this scenario. There is a proven method thats widely accepted throughout the industry. Thus, a logical thinker would not intuitively spend an exhaustive amount of their resources trying to change something that works. Because of this, regulators do play a significant role in imposing their views and ideologies on the industry. Since regulators set the standards that constituents of the field should follow, there is a direct correlation between them (regulators) and the methods that are most likely to be used.
However, regulations may make innovation more of challenge but does not necessarily inhibit. To me innovations is the skill of producing a product/method/procedure given certain restraints. I think for truly innovative minds, regulations are not inhibitive, but serve as challenge that highlights an individuals ingenuity. I look at regulations as hurdles that separate the ingenuity of one mind versus that of the standard or “basic” mind.
