Member Evaluations
What our Sponsors say about the ISA
Each year ISA polls its sponsor companies asking how well, on a scale of 1-5, they feel ISA is fulfilling the organization’s goals. The goals are determined by the board as part of our business plan, which we revise every three years.
Below are the most recent responses to these questions (1 = not meeting the goal/value; 5 = maximum goal/value).
Each year the ISA asks our sponsors to evaluate our performance. We strive every day to deliver value in thought leadership, policy advocacy, and best practices. Our mission is to combine technology, public policy, and economics to create a sustainable system of cybersecurity. It drives everything we do.
