Who in your organisation this is for
Technology has stopped being one department. ICS communities reflect that:
- HISI — Health Informatics Society of Ireland. Clinicians, nurses, health service managers, informaticians. Anyone working on digital health, EHR implementation or clinical systems.
- ADPO — Association of Data Protection Officers. DPOs and privacy staff, but also HR, finance, legal, procurement and marketing colleagues handling personal data.
- ICS CyBridge — Where Cyber Meets Law. Security, compliance, risk and legal teams working on NIS2 and the National Cyber Security Bill.
- SAIN — Strategic AI Network. AI governance, EU AI Act compliance, responsible deployment. Relevant well beyond the technical teams.
- IASA Ireland — Business, software, data and infrastructure architects.
- itSMF Ireland — IT service management.
- New Practitioners Network — Early-career staff and career changers.
Membership gives every enrolled person access to all of them. They choose what’s relevant.

Membership is personal and portable. It travels with the individual and builds over their career.
Is a Team plan right for you?
If your team is less than ~42, then team billing is most cost-effective. But if you think your team will grow, or there is value in ICS, ADPO, or CyBridge membership in other parts of your organisation, then a Corporate Membership may be better for you.
Team Billing: €150 per person with volume discounts. Note: above 42 members, Corporate is always better value.

How it works
- Choose your headcount and pay the annual fee
- Schedule an introduction call with the CEO
- Send us your enrolment list: names and work email addresses
- ICS issues onboarding to each person directly
- New colleagues can be added at any time, invoiced pro rata to the group’s renewal date. Adding people may move you into a lower band at renewal; it doesn’t change the rate already paid for the current year.
