ISM AND IRAP AT A GLANCE
Meet rigorous Australian Government security and assessment requirements
ISM and IRAP help organisations strengthen cyber resilience and assess ICT systems against Australian Government information security requirements.
-
Framework overview
The Information Security Manual (ISM) defines cybersecurity measures for safeguarding ICT systems, while the InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) is designed to assess government agencies and contractors’ implementation of these requirements.
-
Key components
ISM defines cybersecurity guidelines and principles, while IRAP provides a framework for assessing control implementation.
-
Requirements
Organisations must implement controls in alignment with ISM and other Australian Government regulatory frameworks and may undergo an IRAP assessment and system authorisation.
-
Who needs to comply
ISM is mandatory for Australian Government agencies while IRAP assessments are typically required for government contractors and service providers.
