This textbook represents the only study guide currently available for the ISO 27001/27002 individual certification exams. I read the entire book, wrote copious notes, took the only practice exam available (found on the EXIN website), and passed the Foundation exam with a score of 95%.

The book was a good, quick read, but I found many errors, likely from its rushed translation from Dutch to English.
