The PECB ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Implementer qualifies holders to establish, implement, and manage an ISMS according to ISO 27001. The certificate is the implementation counterpart to the Lead Auditor and is aimed at individuals who lead ISMS projects internally or as external consultants. It is valued by organizations looking to introduce or maintain ISO 27001. The exam is designed to be practical but requires a solid understanding of the standard. Without real project experience, the learning material often remains abstract.
