I am keen on taking some Security Audit Certifications. One that I have come to know of is ISO27001 / CISA. I am sure there would be other courses too which can help me boost my career profile.
1. May I request your expert Advisors to guide me on the same so that I can make a decision and start.
2. What are the differences between ISO 27001 Lead Auditor,ISO 27001/IT auditors & ISO 27001/information security consultants ?
 

Answer:

Point 1: Yes, you can arrange 30-minute free consultation with our expert: https://advisera.com/27001academy/consultation/ Anyway, one important thing is that it is not the same "computer security" (more related to the technology), that "information security" (more related to management). So, ISO 27001 and CISA are certifications related to information security, but if you are interested in computer security, maybe can be interesting for you “CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker” or “CPTE (Certified Penetration Testing Engineer)”. Anyway, regarding ISO 27001 and CISA this article can be interesting for you “CISA vs. ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certification” : https://advisera.com/27001academy/blog/2015/05/11/cisa-vs-iso-27001-lead-auditor-certification/
Generally ISO 27001 Lead Auditor is more easy and can help you to know basic concepts about information security, so my recommendation is that you can start with this. In this case, please read this article “How to become ISO 27001 Lead Auditor” : https://advisera.com/27001academy/knowledgebase/how-to-become-iso-27001-lead-auditor/
Point 2: IT auditors is more related to technology, remember for example CEH and CPTE. Regarding ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or consultants, please read this article “Lead Auditor Course vs. Lead Implementer Course – Which one to go for?” : https://advisera.com/27001academy/blog/2014/06/16/lead-auditor-course-vs-lead-implementer-course-which-one-to-go-for/
