Organiser ISACA® Central UK Chapter
Organiser of Cyber (In)Security Requires a Robust Approach Through Continuous Innovation
The ISACA® Central UK Chapter was formed in 1993 to provide ISACA® members living or working in the Midlands with the opportunity to network with fellow professionals. We also provide training and professional development opportunities in Midlands.
Welcome to the ISACA Central UK Chapter. The aim of the Chapter is to sponsor local educational seminars and workshops, conduct regular chapter meetings, and help to further promote and elevate the visibility of the IS audit, control and security profession throughout the region.
ISACA (previously the Information Systems Audit and Control Association) is a world wide association of IS governance professionals. The association currently focuses on assurance, security, and governance and provides globally recognised certification in assurance (Certified Information Systems Auditor), security (Certified Information Security Manager), and governance (Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT).
The association is one of individual members, often the sole practitioner of information systems auditing, security, and/or governance in his or her company. The membership of the ISACA reflects a multiplicity of backgrounds and skills that make the information systems governance field challenging and dynamic.
This chapter is run by volunteers who are ISACA members nominated through ISACA Annual General Meeting (AGM). ISACA members' participations in running the chapter are highly encouraged. We are always happy to welcome new blood, fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the running of the Chapter. If you would like to find out what would be involved, contact the President or talk to any of the Board at a Chapter event
