ISACA
November 2012 to Present
ISACA’s IS auditing and IS control standards are followed by practitioners worldwide and our research
pinpoints professional issues challenging enterprises today.
ISACA actively promotes research that results in the development of products both relevant and useful to IT
governance, control, assurance and security professionals. By drawing on the knowledge and experience of
our members, we developed the Business Model for Information Security (BMIS), taking a holistic and
business-oriented approach to managing information security. Recognizing that IT assurance professionals
are faced with different requirements and different types of audit and assurance assignments, ISACA
developed the IT Assurance Framework (ITAF).
ISACA developed and maintains the internationally recognized COBIT®, Val IT™ and Risk IT frameworks,
helping IT professionals and enterprise leaders fulfill their IT governance responsibilities while delivering
value to the business. In addition to the frameworks, ISACA offers publications that provide guidance on a
wide range of topics, including how to implement the frameworks. ISACA works with members who are
subject matter experts to review and comment on exposure drafts from regulators and standards-setting
bodies to provide the IT community with the most relevant research deliverables.
ISACA members have direct access to research, certifications and products that align systems and strategy.
They are connected to a global professional community and have the opportunity to contribute directly to
advancing the profession and developing its body of knowledge. With the complexity of information systems,
increased risks, and the need for compliance, it is more important than ever that organizations recruit and
retain employees who can take a comprehensive view of information systems and their relationship to
enterprise success.
