During a discussion between an auditing and certification company, an ISO consultancy and a Cardiff university, an ideal employment opportunity came to light.
Students with a background in computer science would be the perfect candidates to fill the gap in the market for ISO/IEC 27001 information security auditors. The career of an auditor is one of variety, security and longevity, as well as being financially rewarding.
Cardiff Metropolitan University provided funding to trial the concept of upskilling students, enabling Geoff Green, an SGS ISO/IEC 27001 trainer, to conduct internal auditor training for 27 IT Security Masters’ students.
