Our team, Board of Directors and Membership Management Advisory Group (MMAG) are always thinking of
Community Platform
new and innovative ways that we can improve our membership experience. The latest member benefit we have
launched is our ‘Community Platform’, an exclusive online network that allows members to discuss the topics and
issues that are important to them.
The past few months have illustrated that remaining well-informed and well-connected in a community such as the
Security Institute, is vital for the professional development of all security professionals. Our new online Community
Platform has been launched to help strengthen the connections amongst Institute members and facilitate the
sharing of expertise: it is a space where members can share ideas, discuss challenges, post questions and search
for other members.
This dedicated virtual space is designed to foster collaboration and engagement, allowing members to have
meaningful interactions with each other and expand their network of security professionals across the UK and
internationally. Members can interact on the platform whenever and wherever they wish; whether that be on the
commute to work, in the office or from the comfort of their own home.
Members can customise their email preferences to receive updates of engagement on the platform as often as
they wish, ensuring it is as easy as possible to stay up-to-date on the latest discussion topics and
As well as including an open forum for all Institute members to participate in, there are also 11 Special Interest
Group (SIG) Communities. These SIG Communities will allow you to gain an insight into a specific security
discipline and hear from other industry leaders within the field. All members are welcomed to join any of the SIGs
communities, it is a great opportunity to gain an insight into a specific area of the security industry and hear from
industry-leading experts.
As the number of SIGs within the Institute expands, so will the number of Online SIG Communities, creating
further opportunities to learn about different areas of the security industry.
There are also communities exclusively for members of the Validation Board (VB) and the MMAG, to join these
communities you must be an official member of each respective board.
