| | Assurance |
| | Without assurance, enterprises cannot feel certain that the information upon which they base their mission-critical decisions is reliable, confidential, secure and available when needed. | | | Through education, research, publications and the leading global IS audit certification (Certified Information Systems Auditor, CISA), ISACA has become—literally—the standard-setting organization for the IS audit and assurance profession. | | | ISACA has long served the information systems audit and assurance community, since its inception in 1969. |

| | The show-stopper was a projection screen boldly displaying a quote from a business that had abandoned their CPA firm in favor of their security audit. | | | This company was promoting a security audit certification program as well as "assurance services". | | | Some kind of standardization of security assurances provided by the AICPA would obviously have an unprecedented appeal to everyone including the banking regulators because of the CPA's reputation and independence. |

| | STSC CrossTalk - What Is Information Assurance? - Jul 2002 |
| | From a broad perspective, information assurance includes the products, procedures, and policies that allow the timely transfer of information in an accurate and secure way among all parties involved. | | | While each perspective of information assurance is correct, the view of the total picture is not. | | | Several disciplines are involved in IA. Today, IA is an issue that has to be addressed in every phase of a system life cycle. |
