In April 1985, a handful of Canberra IT professionals formed a local chapter of the EDP Auditors Association. The organisation was subsequently known as the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), now simply being ISACA. The Canberra Chapter currently has around 200 members.

ISACA’s IS auditing and IS control standards are followed by practitioners worldwide. ISACA’s Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification is recognized globally and has been earned by more than 60,000 professionals since inception. The Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) certification uniquely targets the information security management audience and has been earned by more than 10,000 professionals.
