What is the information security registered assessors program IRAP?

The Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) is an Australian Government initiative that enables customers to validate that appropriate controls are in place and determine the appropriate responsibility model for addressing the requirements of the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). The ISM is produced by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD).

The purpose of the IRAP is to provide customers with a reliable, independent and cost-effective assessment of their security posture. The program provides customers with an assurance that their systems and networks are secure and compliant with the ISM.

he IRAP process involves an assessment of the customer's security posture by an accredited assessor. The assessor will review the customer's security policies, procedures and systems, as well as any other relevant information. The assessor will then provide a report outlining the results of the assessment and any recommendations.

The IRAP provides customers with a number of benefits. By undergoing an assessment, customers can be sure that their systems are secure and compliant with the ISM. It also provides customers with a cost-effective way to identify and address any security vulnerabilities. Finally, the IRAP provides customers with a reliable, independent assessment of their security posture.
