ISO 27001 Consulting & Readiness
ISO 27001 is the international standard for an Information Security Management System (ISMS), and increasingly the baseline enterprise customers expect before they will trust you with their data. Aesparrow guides you through the entire journey — from gap assessment and risk treatment to policies, controls and audit readiness — so certification becomes a milestone you hit on schedule rather than a scramble.
To be clear about roles: Aesparrow is a consulting and readiness partner, not a certification body. We build and operationalise your ISMS and prepare you for the external audit; the certificate itself is issued by an independent accredited certification body after their assessment. That independence is exactly what makes the certification credible — and our job is to make sure you pass it the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aesparrow issue the ISO 27001 certificate?+
No. Certification is issued by an independent, accredited certification body after their audit. Aesparrow provides the consulting, ISMS build and readiness that get you there — keeping the certification independent and credible.
How long does ISO 27001 take?+
Typically three to six months to become audit-ready depending on your starting point and scope, followed by the certification body Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
Can you also run our internal audit?+
Yes. The standard requires an independent internal audit (Clause 9.2) separate from the external one, and we can perform it as your independent internal auditor.

Web Application VAPT
Your web application is the front door to your business — and the first thing an attacker probes. Aesparrow’s Web Application VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) combines deep manual testing with trusted tooling to find the flaws that automated scanners miss: broken access control, business-logic abuse, injection, and authentication weaknesses. You get a clear, prioritised picture of what a real attacker could do, and exactly how to fix it before it costs you.
API Security Testing (API VAPT)
APIs power your apps, partners and integrations — and they’re now the most attacked part of most modern platforms. Because APIs expose business logic directly, a single broken authorisation check can leak every customer’s data. Aesparrow’s API Security Testing (API VAPT) is built around the OWASP API Security Top 10 and goes deep on the flaws automated tools consistently miss: broken object-level authorisation (BOLA/IDOR), mass assignment, and business-logic abuse.
Red Team Assessment
A penetration test answers "is this system vulnerable?" A red team assessment answers a harder, more valuable question: "if a determined attacker targeted our business, would we detect and stop them?" Aesparrow’s red team runs a goal-based, adversary-style simulation across people, process and technology — emulating real threat actors to test your detection and response, not just your patch levels.
