Actually one can be certifed only on BS7799 Pt 2 and not on ISO 17799.
The former specifies the requirements for an Information Security
Management System (ISMS) based on ISO 17799:2000/BS 7799 Pt1:2000. ISO
17799 is just a guide to best practices in the management of information
security and hence is not certifiable unlike BS7799 Pt 2 which llists
down the requirements for an ISMS. Cetification for BS7799 is avauilable
from several international bodies e.g. those accreditated from UKAS
(http://www.ukas.com/information_centre/technical/technical_bs7799.asp).
Many local national certification bodies are also in the process of
getting accreditation from org like UKAS to be able to offer
certification for BS7799.
ISO17799:2000 itself is currently undergoing revision (see work done by
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27/WG1). In addition the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27/WG1 is
currently working on an ISMS standard which if accepted should be an
alternative to BS7799.
