ISACA is an independent, non-profit, international professional association focused on IT governance. On its IRS filings, it is known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, although ISACA now goes by its acronym only.

ISACA started in 1967 by a small group of individuals with similar jobs auditing controls in computer systems that were becoming more critical to their organizations’ operations. Today, ISACA’s constituency of more than 165,000 strong worldwide is characterized by its diversity. These professionals live and work in more than 180 countries including Sri Lanka and cover a variety of professional IT-related positions in the disciplines of IS/IT audit, risk, security and governance as well as educators, consultants and regulators.
