ISACA Professional Development Team

ISACA is a global nonprofit organization established in 1969, serving nearly 180,000 professionals across 188 countries through 225 chapters worldwide. Originally founded as the EDP Auditors Association, ISACA has evolved into a trusted authority in information security, assurance, risk management, and IT governance. The organization offers prestigious certifications including CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), CGEIT (Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT), and CRISC (Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control). ISACA's influence extends beyond certification through its development and maintenance of COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies), a comprehensive framework that helps enterprises govern and manage their information technology. The framework has evolved from its initial focus on IT audit to become a comprehensive tool for IT governance and management, with its latest version, COBIT 2019, incorporating modern digital transformation needs. ISACA continues to serve as the primary resource for professionals seeking to advance their careers in IT governance, risk management, and cybersecurity, while also providing research, standards, and community support to help businesses maximize the value of their technology investments.
