ISO 27001 certifications

We are at the very beginning of thinking about 27001 certification. We are learning about the standard. If we go further, we will have to surround ourselves with people who are ISO 27001 certified. So, my questions: 1. Is it worth it for me to obtain the ISO 27001 Foundations certification? I would like to get it in April 2022. 2. Are “Lead Implementer” and “Lead Auditor” certifications still adequate?

1. Is it worth it for me to obtain the ISO 27001 Foundations certification? I would like to get it in April 2022.

 Answer: ISO 27001 certification certainly is worthy for professionals, and it will give you a comprehensive view of the standard, but it is not mandatory for your company to get certified.

2. Are “Lead Implementer” and “Lead Auditor” certifications still adequate?
