Its creation originated from an initiative of security management professionals who were part of InterAction’s Security Advisory Group. INSSA was incorporated on 12th May 2010, and was granted non-profit, tax-exempt status in February 2011. The association has since grown to over 5000 members from NGOs and affiliated sectors across the world.
