The Information Technology Security Benchmarking Association (ITSBA™) is currently a free association of information technology security professionals within companies. ITSBA™ conducts benchmarking studies to identify practices that improve the overall operations of the members.

Mission

Information Technology Security Benchmarking Association™ is dedicated to the analysis and improvement of business processes in information technology security. Through the exchange of data gathered in benchmarking surveys, members will be able to benefit from the experience of many companies. Membership is open to individuals employed as permanent employees of companies.

Objectives

  • To identify "Best in Class" business processes, which, when implemented, will lead member companies to exceptional performance in information technology security.
  • To conduct benchmarking studies of important business processes.
  • To create a cooperative environment where full understanding of the performance and enablers of "best in class" business processes can be obtained and shared at reasonable cost.
  • To use the efficiency of the consortium to obtain process performance data and related best practices.
  • To support the use of benchmarking to facilitate process improvement and the achievement of total quality.
