Welcome to our group!

We’re one of the oldest specialist groups in BCS and our members come from a wide cross section of business.

Our objectives are to:

  • Encourage research into the risk management and assurance of information systems and to promote the development of information risk management and assurance techniques to reflect changes in technology, legislation, and society.
  • Provide a forum for the development of awareness and competence in information systems risk management and assurance.
  • Promote the efficient, effective, and economical use of risk management and assurance within information systems.
    Represent the interests of the Information Risk Management and Assurance Specialist Group to other bodies.
  • Be the primary focus for information risk management and assurance matters within the BCS.

If you want to get involved or have a suggestion for our forthcoming programme, please get in touch with us at chair.irma@bcs.org.uk. You can see further information about our activities here
