Hi,
I am working as a Lead SOX Auditor in American Express (India) from last 2 yeras. I do audits for Business unit security administrator. I had recently done iso 27001 certification. Will Security+ certification give an edge to my CV? Can u also recommend me some certifications that will help.
Note: I am from commerce background and have done BBA but after my graduation my interest is developed in IT sector and now i want to grow in this sector.

Welcome to the forums.

With the Security+, do jobs in your area need you to have it? Will you be able to gain an edge over other candidates for a new role? Check your local job boards with the Security+ in the keyword search. From what I've seen the S+ is more recognized in the US than anywhere else. Over in Australia, you tell people you have an S+, they go - huh, you got a what?

The CISA looks like the certification you may need. Again do you research before heading down the path. Good luck.

I would recommend the COBIT 5 Foundation exam. Several auditor positions that I've seen posted recently are looking for COBIT knowledge.
