The primary goal of the Information Systems Security Association, Inc. (ISSA) is to promote management practices that will ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of organizational information resources. This is becoming increasing important in a world which is largely dependent on information and its uses.

The ISSA It is an international not-for-profit organisation of information security professionals and practitioners from virtually every sector of human activity. It is divided into well over 100 chapters scattered across the globe. The ISSA is not a security certification body, but its membership consists primarily of professionals who are certified by reputable international security certification associations which require a high standard of professional ethics, security knowledge, and on-going education.

The Barbados chapter is comprised of several local information security professionals from government and various private sector organisations. These professionals work together under the Code of Ethics and mandate of the ISSA to promote an awareness and appreciation of information security. Additionally, our members use their combined local and international resources to develop the state of information security in the country.
