Q. Aren't there already security and risk-related organizations?
Q. Does SARMA compete with for-profit companies?
Q. Aren't there already security and risk-related organizations?
A. Yes, on the one hand, there are security organizations whose focus is on security products and services, and specific areas of threrats and vulnerabilities. Similarly, there are risk-related organizations with a broad focus on risk in finance, engineering, medicine, safety and the environment. However, nither organization provides significant focus or expertise of relevance to security analysis and security risk analysis. The relative immaturity of this highly-specialized, multi-disciplinary area of security analysis and risk management requires a highly-focused, inter-disciplinary organization to accelerate the advancment of the profession.

Q. Does SARMA compete with for-profit companies?
A. No. SARMA is a non-profit organization. While it does maintain relationships with organizations some members may consider clients, SARMA uses a panel of members to ensure that any work it considers performing for others is not suitable for an for profit company, or other institution. Stated differently, SARMA seeks to do work that clients do not feel is suitable for, or achievable by, a for profit institution. As such, it effectively avoids competition with its members.
