ISO 27001 Foundation — PECB Certified ISO/IEC 27001 Foundation
PECB's entry-level ISO 27001 certification covering foundational ISMS concepts and ISO 27001 standard structure. Not DoD 8140 approved. The starting point on the PECB ISO 27001 path before Lead Implementer or Lead Auditor. Useful for practitioners new to ISO 27001 who want documented foundation knowledge before pursuing more advanced certification. Limited standalone hiring value — most employers require LI or LA rather than Foundation.
