ISACA is a world’s leading body of IS Security and Governance professionals. The association currently focuses on assurance, security, and governance and provides globally recognized certification in assurance CISA, CISM, CRISC and CGEIT. ISACA is currently represented by chapters in 96 countries across the world.
A desire to create more awareness about ISACA and its certifications led to the formation of the Ahmedabad (India) Chapter making it ISACA’s 242nd chapter. Incidentally the chapter was approved on the 15th of August 2019, the day being Independence Day of India! Nitin Pathak, chapter formation committee chair of the ISACA Ahmedabad Chapter, says that the new chapter will strive to encourage members and industry professionals to aspire to earn ISACA certifications and become aware of ISACA’s learning resources on systems, security and COBIT standards.
The members of the ISACA Ahmedabad Chapter also seek to build member skill sets associated with ISACA certifications and to help college graduates further their careers. In the Ahmedabad area, the Big 4 firms are known to look for college graduates who have passed their ISACA certification exams. With the new chapter’s support, the hope is that these graduates not only become ISACA-certified but also earn more money as a result of holding these certifications.
