Meet Privately,
Without Leaving Your Office
IASAP provides a members-only virtual sharing platform where security awareness professionals engage in a lively, year-round exchange of information and ideas via online Q&A with immediate feedback, member survey/polls, web jams, etc. Since only current members who have signed an NDA may access this platform, members also feel comfortable using it to share program resources for re-branding and use. IASAP also hosts numerous guest speaker webinars and members-only conference calls.
If you feel like you’re the only person at your organization who believes in the importance of awareness, or if your management believes in the program, but it has yet to take off, it’s time to re-energize yourself and your awareness program with membership in IASAP.
Or In Person...
IASAP holds two in-person meetings per year – two-day, facilitated conferences hosted by member organizations in the U.S. and Canada. All attendees sign non-disclosure agreements; discussions are informal and collegial. Each organization is assigned a brief segment of the meeting to present on their own awareness initiatives, showing samples of their program materials and resources for the benefit of other members.
Security awareness is all about people, and IASAP is for the people who target the people who need the awareness message – from the C-suite to the factory floor. Whether it’s via blast, blog, or billboard, IASAP members are the ones who craft the message, create the themes, and care about which channel will be most effective.

Our History
Previously organized as the Security Awareness Peer Group under sponsorship of the Computer Security Institute (CSI), our core group of security awareness professionals has been meeting since 2003. When CSI discontinued the group in 2011, members were determined to continue pursuing the group’s mission to build a trusted community for awareness teams to share and develop best practices to advance their mutual goal of increasing security awareness across the interconnected digital landscape.
Reorganized as an independent 501(c)6 non-profit association in 2012, the International Association of Security Awareness Professionals is comprised of member participants who are responsible for developing and implementing the security awareness programs for their respective organizations.
IASAP is governed by a member-elected, six-person Executive Board of Directors. IASAP accepts limited corporate sponsorships, and the majority of its operating funds come from membership dues.
