ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally recognized standard, published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

The short answer is no, one person cannot become certified in ISO 9001. Rather, a company or organization is what is eligible for the certification. However, a person can become certified as a lead auditor through a training course that is provided.

Part of the ISO 27000 series of information security standards, ISO 27001 is a framework that helps organization establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain and continually improve an ISMS (information security management system)".

The key difference between ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 is that ISO 27002 is designed to use as a reference for selecting security controls within the process of implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 27001. Organizations can achieve certification to ISO 27001 but not ISO 27002.

The only difference in this process is who conducts the audit. A recognized ISO 27001-accredited certification body must complete ISO 27001 certification. Organizations that pass the ISO 27001 audit receive a certificate of compliance, whereas SOC 2 compliance is documented with a formal attestation.

ISO 27001 is invaluable for monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a company's information security management system and will unquestionably give partner organizations and customers greater confidence in the way they interact with business.
