N, Gideon,

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but SANS Institute offers a
few certifications that seem to match pretty well.

The first is their GSNA credential: "GIAC Systems and Network Auditing."
(Track 7)
The second one is "Security Consultant" (Track 13), which covers ISO
17799.
Lastly, SANS offers an individual certification called G7799 or "GIAC
Certified ISO-17799 Specialist"

For the GSNA credential, you must be somewhat technical to pass their
'practical' (research paper) -and it is tough.

The Security Consultant track (Track 13) handles the whole gambit of
being a consultant (managing finances, presenting to a client, writing
contracts, etc...)

For more info...
GSNA track offered in April:
http://www.sans.org/sans2004/description.php?track=t7
Security Consultant (April):
http://www.sans.org/sans2004/description.php?track=t13
G7799: http://www.giac.org/subject_certs.php#G7799

HTH,
-Jeff Parker

N,

I do not know of an ISO 17799 certification. There is a Yahoo group
dedicated to the ISO 17799 standard:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iso17799security

You should consider joining and submitting a post on this topic.

Kind regards,

Gideon

Guys, 

How do I get BS 7799 / ISO 17799 certified? Googling gave me some
results
on 
the standard but none on how to be a certified auditor. 

Also, how does CISA compare with BS7799/ISO 17799? 

Thanks a bunch!! 
-N
