Overview

ISACA Puerto Rico is the local chapter of ISACA, an international association that serves IT Governance professionals. The local chapter was established in 1984 and currently has approximately 300 members. As well as organizing educational activities, ISACA Puerto Rico also offers Examination Reviews for the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certifications. Today, ISACA’s membership—more than 65,000 strong worldwide—is characterized by its diversity. Members live and work in more than 140 countries and cover a variety of professional IT-related positions—to name just a few, IS auditor, consultant, educator, IS security professional, regulator, chief information officer and internal auditor. Some are new to the field, others are at middle management levels and still others are in the most senior ranks. They work in nearly all industry categories, including financial and banking, public accounting, government and the public sector, utilities and manufacturing. This diversity enables members to learn from each other, and exchange widely divergent viewpoints on a variety of professional topics. It has long been considered one of ISACA’s strengths. Previously known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, ISACA now goes by its acronym only, to reflect the broad range of IT governance professionals it serves.
