Yhdistyksen visio

Luotettavuutta ja lisäarvoa liiketoimintaan hyvän tietohallintatavan ja tietotekniikan valvonnan avulla.


Yhdistyksen strategia

Tietojärjestelmätarkastus (IT-tarkastus) on toiminnan perusta

  • Tietojärjestelmätarkastus on tietohallinnon, tietojärjestelmien ja tietotekniikan ohjauksen, valvonnan ja kontrollien tarkastamista
  • IT-tarkastajan tulee ymmärtää tietohallintokäytännöt, tietoturvaratkaisut ja muut IT-kontrollit voidakseen tarkastaa
  • Tietoturva-ammattilaisen tulee ymmärtää tarkastusnäkökulma - miksi, miten
  • Tietohallintoammattilaisen tulee ymmärtää tarkastusnäkökulma - miksi, miten
  • IT-riskienhallinta täydentää muita näkökulmia
  • IT-tarkastus / tietoturva / IT Governance / IT riskienhallinta ammattilaisten yhteistoiminnalla saavutetaan parhaat tulokset

Kansainväliset mallit (Cobit, Risk IT, Val IT, IT Governance) sovelletaan Suomen oloihin

  • Resurssien rajallisuus
  • Toimintaympäristön ja kulttuurin erot

Perusasiat mukana aina: jäsenkokoukset, koulutustoiminta

  • IT-tarkastus, tietoturva, IT Governance ja IT riskienhallinta näkökulmat tasapuolisesti
  • Yhdistys tukee ja aktivoi uutta alan toimintaa ja tutkimusta
  • Jäsen esittää hallitukselle uutta toimintamuotoa (työryhmää), yhdistys antaa rahallista tukea toiminnan käynnistämiseksi
