A. Time.
Whilst you don't have to use a consultant to support you with your ISO 27001 implementation, doing so can help you to avoid the huge potential for rabbit holes, misunderstanding and misinterpretation which ultimately can save you months!
In our audit experience, we have also come across numerous consultants who are "standards people", rather than information security specialists. We would strongly encourage you to find an ISO 27001 specialist rather than generic standards consultant - the difference can save you months too!
A. Experience first...and then a bunch of other stuff - here are some quick thoughts.
Technical experience is particularly pertinent with ISO 27001. A good consultant will have multiple years of experience working in information technology. Without a technical background, some of the nuance of the technical controls can be lost.
As a consequence, we would generally counsel against a "generic ISO consultant" as, whilst they may have much experience working with Standards, they may be weak in the technical requirements of ISO 27001.
A. Not necessarily, but we think it's a good idea!
Consultants can become complacent and stuck in their thinking. Auditing exposes the consultant to a wide range of implementation methods, new ways of doing things, new technologies and solutions. It's a great form of professional development.
Auditors who conduct audits for a UKAS accredited auditing bodies have to conduct "quality reviewed" audits regularly to ensure they are auditing to a suitable standard. This should provide some assurance that the consultant is of a suitably high standard.
