Examples of Special Contact Group for implementation of ISMS

Dear All,

Can anybody suggest, list of probable special contact groups for implementation of ISMS.

I know few of them, but a comprehensive list is required including forums where subscription is free.

I have tried ISACA for one of my client, but it is very costly and except for trainings, details of current practices/ risks etc. are not coming.

Hope I have communicated my problem to you all.

Regards and thanks

Ajay

The group is open to all who wishes to know more about information security. Questions coming from newbies would be answered by experts who have been in the information security industry before ISO 27001 became fashionable.

Involved In Discussions
You may instead be looking for information access groups rather than implementation and support discussion groups (in which case it would have been helpful to be clearer). That would be based on a standard clause that requires contact with related groups (control 6.1.7, contact with special interest groups).

As with all control requirements the intention could be clearer (there is always room for differing interpretations based on different company and system requirements), but here are a couple:
