Project Manager as internal auditor
Answer:
The project manager is involved in most of the activities related to the implementation of the ISO 27001, and since one requirement to be observed for an auditor is impartiality (an auditor cannot audit his own work), this person will not be able to perform the auditor role. The same applies to CISO, since he is responsible for reporting the ISM performance.
The best course of action would be to train an employee to perform internal auditor or hire an external auditor.

ISO 27001 and ISO 27002
Answer:
The main differences are:
- ISO 27001 is a certifiable standard that defines the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), as well as provide, on its Annex A, suggested security controls to be implemented, according to results of risk assessment or legal obligations.
- ISO 27002 is a non certifiable standard that provides details and guidance on the implementation of the controls from ISO 27001 Annex A.
- ISO 27002 is not mandatory to be certified against ISO 27001.

Implementation of ISO 27002
Answer:
First it is important to note that ISO 27002 is a support standard to implement ISO 27001, and it is not certifiable, which makes difficult to track the organizations which have implemented it.
On the other hand, since ISO 27001 is a certifiable standard you can track which organizations have implemented it, but it requires some effort, because there is no central list of certified organizations (you must consult each certification body to track which companies are certified by them).
However, the ISO site provides an ISO survey where you can find general information about certifications, like total quantity, quantity per country, quantity industry, etc. It does not nominate organizations.
You can find this survey at this link: https://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink?func=ll&objId=18808772&objAction=browse&viewType=1

Certification of remote companies
Answer:
In terms of certification you can state as location (company's headquarters) the home address of the founder / CEO of the company or the address of the office where the people accountable for the company can be found (you should ask the certification body what their preference would be in such situation). You can present this address as company's address and all other locations can be considered remote locations and can be audited accordingly. -
Result of review
We’re thinking we need to add a “Review Record Form” that we would fill out and sign before submitting our proposal to the customer; this form would be used to meet ISO requirements. However, we don’t otherwise see value in retaining the document. Couldn’t we just call our signed contract the “…documented information… on the results of the review…” that ISO 9001 requires in section 8.2.3.2 and not add another form into the mix?
Answer
When reading your description I was thinking in your proposal at the end. Why not consider both the proposal and the signed contract as evidence of review? I just see one possible problem: what if the client in the RFP does not include relevant legal or implicit requirements? If that is the case your proposed form could be useful to ensure that they are considered in the proposal.
