ISACA Chennai Chapter:

The ISACA Chennai Chapter, which started in July 1986, is the first in India and one of the oldest in Asia. It is one of the few chapters in the world to have an office premise of its own. The chapter has over 1000 members and it is growing each year. The ISACA Chennai Chapter conducts monthly professional development meetings, CISA and CISM review classes and various other events. Every year towards the end of this ISACA Chennai Chapter organises an annual conference during the last week of November. The chapter's members have instituted various awards, including the best speaker prize for monthly meetings and CISA, CISM and CGEIT. It will extend and expand such awards to make the profession more vibrant and dynamic. To honour the vision of the founders, the Chapter celebrates the anniversary of its founding as Founders' Day.

SRM-ISACA Student Group (SRM-ISG)

SRM ISACA Student Group encourages education beyond the classroom by allowing students to network, learn from each other, and connect with a supportive group of professionals. The student group allows students to learn about ISACA. Various events could be conducted by the college ISACA group and the local chapter; through these events, students benefit enormously.
