What is IRAP?
The Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) is an initiative by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) to provide high-quality, independent ICT security assessments. IRAP ensures that Australian government entities and businesses can access professional evaluations to enhance their cybersecurity posture. These assessments are conducted by ASD-endorsed assessors with extensive experience in the Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
IRAP assessments guide organisations in understanding their security strengths, identifying vulnerabilities, and receiving tailored recommendations for mitigation. This process is essential for demonstrating compliance with government requirements, enhancing the security of systems and data, and supporting an organisation's risk management strategies.
