ISO 27k books reading list
Many ISO 27001 practitioners attend ISO 27001 Lead Implementer courses or buy a ISO 27001 TOOLKIT to gain practical knowledge and skills to develop an information security management system (ISMS). Some go even further by securing a budget to call in an experienced ISO 27001 consultant to guide them through the process and help them with the more complex aspects of the project.
