Cybersecurity & Information Security Internal Audit Services
Protect what matters with Cybersecurity & Information Security Internal Audit Services
A cybersecurity internal audit is an independent, objective review of whether an organisation’s information security controls are designed correctly and operating effectively, performed before — and separately from — any external certification audit. Aesparrow provides outsourced internal audit services for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, NIST and IT general controls, giving leadership assurance and giving auditors the evidence they expect.
Our internal auditors plan a risk-based audit programme, test controls through interviews, document review, sampling and technical checks, and report findings with root causes and practical corrective actions. Because we are independent of your operations team, our internal audit satisfies requirements such as ISO 27001 clause 9.2 without you hiring a dedicated audit function.
