IAUK was born out of IA07 to address the agreed need for a visible continuum of activity between the annual IA events. It acts as a repository for material produced by working groups from across the IA community and as a portal providing links to the main players in the IA Community, which consists of organisations from across the public sector, private sector and academia. As IA becomes ever more critical for UK Government, it is important that information can be found easily: IAUK is your starting point to find answers to your IA questions.
