Certified ISO auditor in the US
I have an easy question for you. I am new to ISO anything. I like the way the framework is laid out. I have heard this framework (ISO 27000) is primarily used in Europe. I know ISO was started as a British standard, but is there a need to be a Certified ISO auditor in the US? Are American companies using or have to be certified under ISO? Since I live in the US, I am just wondering if it will help my career to take training and get certified.
