Hi Ravi,
IT/ITES should help. Almost any company using data and maintaining confidentiality on the data require ISO 27001:2005 (called ISMS or Information Security Management Systems). BCP/Six Sigma, Kaizen, Asset Management List - covered everything. The systems and practices adopted by a company will determine. I worked earlier in an ISO Certification Body. Companies go for the entire organization or for specific IT departments for Certification.
You can get an ISMS auditor in ISO organizations or work as an in-house auditor or alternatively work as an external consultant. There's also IRCA - where you can register as an auditor and work for several companies, though it has minimum requirements like being a Lead Auditor and having experience in at least 10 audits per year (check on International Register of Certificated Auditors). Minimum basic hardware and networking should help. Give me time to check and get back to you.
