The IISP works for its members to: • be the authoritative body for Information Security professionals • be a universally accepted focal point for the profession • act as an accreditation authority for the industry This is achieved through accrediting skills and competence, by sharing best practice and by providing a network of support and guidance on individual skills development. The Institute speaks with an authoritative voice and its competency based memberships are widely recognised in the information security industry. Working closely with the information security community, the IISP represents over 8,000 individual members across private and government sectors, over 50 Corporate Members and 21 Academic Partners. At the heart of the Institute is the IISP Skills Framework* which is widely accepted as the de-facto standard for measuring competency of Information Security Professionals.
