Chapter History

Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) got its start in 1967. Formalized in 1969 the membership has grown to more than 28,000 with chapters in more than 60 countries world wide. Members 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. In addition, the association formed an education foundation to undertake large-scale research efforts to expand the knowledge and value of the IT governance and control field.

ISACA has become a pace-setting global organization for information governance, control, security and audit professionals. Its IS auditing and IS control standards are followed by practitioners worldwide. Its Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification is recognized globally and has been earned by more than 30,000 professionals and its new Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification uniquely targets the information security management audience. It publishes a leading technical journal in the information control field, the Information Systems Control Journal. It hosts a series of international conferences focusing on both technical and managerial topics pertinent to the IS assurance, control, security and IT governance professions. Together, ISACA and its affiliated IT Governance Institute lead the information technology control community and serve its practitioners by providing the elements needed by IT professionals in an ever-changing worldwide environment.

 

The Central Oklahoma Chapter was formed on June 15, 1980 and is made up of approximately 75 members. The Chapter provides a forum to facilitate the free exchange of information regarding systems control and security. We also provide our members with access to audit and security resources and offer educational meetings and seminars to keep our membership informed of the latest advances in technology and audit and security techniques.
