fast Facts

NAID® and PRISM International TM proudly came together in 2018 to offer comprehensive information lifecycle management under the auspices of the newly formed International Secure Information Governance & Management Association® (i-SIGMA®). But who is i-SIGMA? Discover the integrity behind the association you support.

Fact: i-SIGMA is a member-owned, non-profit association. Members, through their elected board, are in complete control of the association’s funds, and every dollar is spent to advance the interests of members and to promote the use of member services.

Fact: No one company contributes more than 3% of i-SIGMA’s total revenue, meaning the association is free of undue influence.

Fact: All i-SIGMA member-representatives are eligible and encouraged to serve on the Board of Directors. Directors are restricted from serving two consecutive terms, making sure there is healthy turnover so that it never becomes a “good ole boys club” and the general membership is well represented.

Fact: The overwhelming majority of those serving on the Board of Directors are owners or managers of small, independent businesses, which means they are ideal to best represent the general membership.

Fact: i-SIGMA utilizes a Code of Ethics & Complaint Resolution Council with an established system for members to hold each other accountable. i-SIGMA will take action against any industry company engaging in harmful activities or producing materials with false information.

Fact: i-SIGMA as a trade-association (meaning our membership is made up of companies vs. a professional association wherein the membership is made up of individuals) believes in being cost sensitive to our members. Active member dues vary by division and company revenue; they are several thousand dollars less than other similar trade associations.

Fact: i-SIGMA conferences held in the USA currently cost less than $600 for early member registrations. Other trade association conferences charge $900-$1200 to receive the same full access that our event provides. i-SIGMA is proud to keep costs low for our annual conference.

Fact: i-SIGMA international initiatives and events are fully funded by dues from the regions they serve. This means that i-SIGMA as a global entity has a healthy and proportionate focus on regions to membership.
