Creating tech opportunities for all
The ISACA Foundation was established in 2020 to expand opportunities in the tech workforce. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to contribute to tech innovation and impact and to develop meaningful and rewarding careers. We pursue these goals through two primary initiatives: the ISACA Scholarship Program and the Digital Trust Workforce Development Program.
Our vision
A robust community of IT audit, risk, security, assurance and cyber professionals that is open and accessible to all
Our mission
Expand pathways and remove barriers to give more people the opportunity to enter the IT workforce and achieve leadership positions
Our Board of Directors
Our Board comprises recognized experts from around the world, whose skills and life experience reflect those of the communities we aim to serve.
