Housemark’s Information Security Forum is the place to discuss cyber security and governance for housing specialists and is the first WARP (Warning Advice and Report Point) for housing associations in the UK.
Led by information security experts and partners, membership of the Information Security Forum gives you access to essential information about current potential threats to your business and offers a safe space to share advice, guidance and valuable experiences with peers – to help you stay ahead in an ever-changing environment.
How does the forum work?
The forum blends a mixture of facilitated meetings and secure online workspaces to support effective knowledge exchange and support. There are eight online meetings a year, with two parts to every meeting.
- An open session with supplier and guest speaker presentations, discussion and analysis of the latest issues, news and project updates from engaged organisations or members of the group and covers a wide variety of assurance activities.
- A closed session allowing members to share current projects and issues including details of any information security incidents. This format supports secure sharing of sensitive technical or organisational information, allowing requests for, and offers of, assistance to be made, building trust amongst members.

The Forum holds eight online meetings each year, open to Housemark members and non-members. The Forum is in addition to your standard membership, but is open to your whole organisation, not just individuals. For more information about joining please contact helen.williams@housemark.co.uk
