Key knowledge and tasks

"“I’ve worked in IT for a few years now, starting in first line support and working my way up to a network engineering role. I wasn’t sure what my next career move would be, but fate stepped in when my organisation started to implement ISO 27001. The company has over 2, 000 staff and I was chosen as one of the Lead Implementers for the project. I’m pretty sure my CISMP qualification helped me get a project lead position. Prior to launching the project I was required to get ISO 27001 Certified ISMS Lead Implementer and ISO 27005 Certified ISMS Risk Management qualifications. This, along with my project experience, has helped me stand out from the crowd and get noticed by senior management, which resulted in my promotion to Information Security Analyst. I also recently enrolled on a PCI DSS Implementation training course to improve my understanding of payment card security and measures we need to take to ensure we remain compliant when dealing with credit card data. ”."
