The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has had a major impact on the security and business continuity of organizations around the globe. In light of the outbreak, ASIS has curated useful resources for security professionals.
Organizations need to begin to plan now for the wider rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine and what policies and procedures they need to have in place.
If you have been negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic (e.g. lost your job, reduction in hours, or became ill) your ASIS Foundation is here to support you.
The Foundation Board has approved up to $100,000 in grants to be awarded to ASIS members in need and encourage you to apply for a support grant to renew your ASIS membership* free of charge or to receive a complimentary online certification study program if you need the assistance.
The names of COVID-19 grant recipients will not be shared publicly to protect their privacy.
