ISO 27001 is a standard for information security management systems (ISMS) that organizations can adopt and implement to manage their information security risks. It is not a certification that can be awarded to individuals.
However, there are certifications available for individuals who work with or within an organization that has implemented an ISMS based on the ISO 27001 standard. These 27001 certifications demonstrate that an individual has a certain level of knowledge and expertise in information security management, which can be valuable for those working in roles such as information security manager, security consultant, or auditor.
The certifications available for individuals in the field of information security management include:
Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) - offered by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2.
Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) - offered by ISACA.
Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) - also offered by ISACA.
These certifications are based on industry best practices and provide a recognized standard for knowledge and expertise in information security management.
