Acquiring auditor experience

Answer: The best option would be for you to find a mentor in your organization's audit team, not necessarily in ISO 27001, but in audit methods and techniques (of course, if he/she masters ISO 27001 even better). By becoming part of his/her audit team you can start getting experience. If such person is not available in your organization then you should search for them in professional social networks or websites (people recognized by their peers as good coaches/mentors). With this second option you should take care when sharing information (focus on the general s ituation without details). Another alternative is to try to contact certification bodies and ask if you can participate as a trainee in their audits (this alternative is not always available).
