    Not sure if anyone has done this qualification or is interested in it but thought I would write a review on my experience of it.

    There is a few different types of ISO27001 Certifications you can do ranging from foundation, to lead implementer or lead auditor. A quick look on Google or some training provides will tell you more about each. Basically an implementer will be in charge of implementing an ISMS to ISO27001 standard while a Lead Auditor is intrested in auditing an ISMS to ISO27001 standard.

    The exams are designed to be taken as part of a one week training course although if you want you can just sit the exams but you will miss a lot of things you will need to know to be an auditor as the exam only covers a small range of what is required which is why most places will only let you sit the exam if you go on a training course first. Which can be annoying as the average cost of a course is around £1500. If anyone would like to know the training provider I used they can PM and I will give them some details.

    I decided to do the Lead Auditor course and would recommend the following books:

    Information Security Risk Management, 2nd Edition: Amazon.co.uk: A Salder, S Watkins: Books This book covers all you need to know but not in too much detail it can be a little dry to read but is worth reading.

    An Introduction to Information Security and ISO27001: Amazon.co.uk: S Watkins: Books This book is very short and basic but if you have no knowledge of ISO27001 is a good starter to get you involved.

    IT Governance: A Manager's Guide to Data Security and ISO 27001 / ISO 27002: Amazon.co.uk: Alan Calder: Books Has a lot of detail more than is needed for the exam but is very good especially if you go on to do the ISO27002 exams.

    One thing you definitely need to buy is the ISO27001 standard although it’s not needed I would also recommend the ISO27002 standard, these may seem expensive at around £100 I think but without the ISO27001 standard you will struggle with the course and these are not included with the course.

    This course and qualification might not be for everyone and is not a technical qualification at all but I found it interesting and would recommend it.

    ISO 27001 for Small Medium Business

    ISO 27001 is for Small medium business, which requires only a minimum of procedures and technology in order to be compliant with this standard. This makes it all the more important that a firm's information security management should be carried out by someone with expertise and experience of both the ISO 27001 standard and the field of information security in general.
