Overall, this is a very good guide and explainer for those who are new to ISO27001 and have little point of reference. This is a really dry subject and the autor does a reasonably good job of trying to provide occasional fun graphics and reference to Marvel superheroes to lighten it up. Previously I read the author's NIST book and materials, which I liked and were very comprehensive, useful, and presented in a loose and easy to read style.So let's cover what it is and what it isn't. Overall, it covers the Clauses section of ISO27001 comprehensively, which is the meat of the document. It explains, what it is, why it exists, a little bit on how it differs from other frameworks so that newcomers have a good context for what it's trying to accomplish. Then it goes into the process of what you need to know and must follow for these clauses, which is not evident in ISO27001 and is more of a practice approach. There is little question that you'll understand and appreciate the depth of that coverage. There is explanation of what you need to do with some examples but much is understandable to be applied if you appreciate something of the nature of the work. He also goes through the Annex which has a long list of controls, where there isn't much more than a summary of what each is, in the event you didn't want to spend lots of money on obtaining a copy of ISO27001, so this is complete.I would have enjoyed a few more personal experiences and real world examples and a bit more on the Annex, which is more sparse coverage. But overall, if you need a guide to understand beyond what this document is and how to use it, it's very well organized and explained.
