The 27000 Who's Who

This is another ongoing project. Over time we will build up a comprehensive "Who's Who" of the ISO 27000 world. The current list is below:

David Watson
The very first BS7799/ISO17799/ISO27001 (take your pick) auditor. David Watson is still busy in the infosec arena, owning a consultancy company in the UK and moderating the Dr Watson forum on the ISO 17799/27001 Community. He is also an accomplished author.

Kate Hartley
The driving force behind the biggest online user group dedicated to the standards (17799.com)

Ted Humphreys
A long established consultant, Ted Humphreys has been a key player in the development of the standards, and holds a pivotal role on the relevant ISO technical committee.

Gary Hinson
Gary a consultant and is ISSA's UK Secretary. He also runs several websites, including a very easy to read blog (noticebored.com).

Andrew Smith
A policy writer and consultant, but best known as the moderator of the major Yahoo user groups.

Brian Doswell
Manages a consultancy practice and is a member of BCI's advisory board. Brian is also a published (ISO 17799) information security author.
