ISACA is an international professional association focused on IT (information technology) governance. On its IRS filings, it is known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, although ISACA now goes by its acronym only.[1][6][7] ISACA currently offers 8 certification program as well as other micro-certificates.

History[edit]

ISACA originated in United States in 1967,[6] when a group of individuals working on auditing controls in computer systems started to become increasingly critical of the operations of their organizations. They identified a need for a centralized source of information and guidance in the field. In 1969, Stuart Tyrnauer, an employee of the (later) Douglas Aircraft Company, incorporated the group as the EDP Auditors Association (EDPAA).[8] Tyrnauer served as the body's founding chairman for the first three years. In 1976 the association formed an education foundation to undertake large-scale research efforts to expand the knowledge of and value accorded to the fields of governance and control of information technology.

The association became the Information Systems Audit and Control Association in 1994.[9]

By 2008 the organization had dropped its long title and branded itself as ISACA.[10]

In March 2016, ISACA bought the CMMI Institute who is behind the Capability Maturity Model Integration.[11]

In January 2020, ISACA updated refreshed its look and digital presence, introducing a new logo.[12]

Current status[edit]

ISACA currently serves more than 140,000 constituents (members and professionals holding ISACA certifications) in more than 180 countries.[13] The job titles of members are such as IS auditor, consultant, educator, IS security professional, regulator, chief information officer, chief information security officer and internal auditor. They work in nearly all industry categories. There is a network of ISACA chapters with more than 200 chapters established in over 80 countries. Chapters provide education, resource sharing, advocacy, networking and other benefits.[14]

The CSX-P, ISACA's first cybersecurity certification, was introduced in the summer of 2015. It is one of the few certifications that require the individual to work in a live environment, with real problems, to obtain a certification. Specifically, the exam puts test takers in a live network with a real incident taking place. The student's efforts to respond to the incident and fix the problem results in the type of score awarded.[25]
