I do not know of an ISO 17799 certification. There is a Yahoo group dedicated to the ISO 17799 standard:
Actually, there isn't such thing as a ISO 17799 certification. At the beginning of time there were a BS-7799 part 1 (Code of Practice) and a BS-7799 part 2 (Specifications). A certification was vs. BS-7799 part 2. Now "the kit" is made of an ISO 17799 part 1 (Code of Practice) and a BS 7799 part 2 (Specifications). A certification is still vs. BS 7799 part 2 while there isn't any longer a BS 7799 part 1. There are no plans at the time to produce a ISO 17799 part 2 (but never say never...). The "Code of practice" provides guidelines ("should" is used in all sentences) the "Specifications" mandates requirements (the "should" becomes a "shall" in all clauses). I felt like dropping this quick note, as the general public is confused whether there is any difference between the ISO and the BS part of this standard and how the two relate to each other.
