The IT Governance-Risk-Compliance Group of GRC Institute has created a new division centred on Information Security (IS) to better address the cascading dependency between IS Governance, IS Risk and IS Compliance. Specifically, the Division is announcing new training and certification programs in these three interrelated domains of Information Security: Certified Information Security Compliance Professional (CISCP™), Certified Information Security Risk Professional (CISRP™) and Certified Information Security Governance Professional (CISGP™). (Trademarks herein are those of GRC Institute.)

    Institute Chairperson Prof. Sanjay Anand, stated: "Information Security is a highly critical area within the broader realm of Information Technology. How organizations deal with Information Security has always been and will always be different from how they deal with other areas of Technology. This has to do with the impact of Security, or lack thereof, on the organization's well-being and even its very existence itself," he added.
