I sense some confusion here. Maybe I can help?

Firstly, unlike CISSP, BS7799 is not a personal certification, it is an
organizational one. In other words, the organization, or part of it,
becomes certified against BS7799. You do not.

The concept of having the letters BS7799 following your name,
therefore, does not apply.

In terms of BS7799, individuals can however become qualified to audit
against it. There are lead auditor qualifications and so on, to equip
you and enable you to perform recognized audits.

BS7799-2, or indeed ISO 27001, which is replacing it, are focused very
much on the organization.

If you are interested in this area, it sounds like you need to do a
little research on the wider concepts of BS7799, ISO 27001 and ISO
17799. For this, the following resources may help:

ISO 17799 Central: http://www.17799central.com
ISO 17799 Newsletter (I edit this): http://17799-news.the-hamster.com
ISO 27001 Online: http://www.27001-online.com

There is also a user group dedicated to the standard at:
http://www.17799.com. There is even a wiki for the standard at:
http://iso-17799.safemode.org

Hopefully this will give you the basics of a fairly complex arena.

Best fo luck.
