Understanding ISO 27001

Is my fear true?

Answer: ISO 27001 is a management standard, so most of its requirements are about roles and responsibilities, and how process should be planned, implemented, controlled and improved, with only minimal requirements regarding technical issues like networking and penetration testing (basically what someone in management position should require from his technical staff). So a non technical education wouldn't be a problem to learn ISO 27001.
