Do You Need an IRAP Assessment?
At Cyber Sense, we specialise in providing comprehensive IRAP (Information Security Registered Assessors Program) Assessment and Readiness Services to prepare your organisation for Australia's stringent cybersecurity standards. Our approach is closely aligned with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) guidelines, ensuring alignment with the rigorous requirements of the Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
IRAP Assessment Requirements
Under PSPF Policy 11: Robust ICT Systems, IRAP assessments are mandatory for:
  • Outsourced information technology providers
  • Cloud service providers
  • Gateway providers
These assessments must be completed before processing or storing government data. Cyber Sense guides you through these requirements, ensuring your services are fully compliant and secure.
The Role of IRAP Assessors
IRAP assessors, endorsed by ASD, provide independent security assessments across various systems. They:
  • Ensure impartiality by avoiding involvement in system design or implementation
  • Evaluate security controls objectively
  • Leave authorisation decisions to the authorising officer, maintaining separation of responsibilities
IRAP Readiness
Cyber Sense offers tailored IRAP readiness consulting services to help organisations align with the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM) and achieve compliance with cybersecurity standards. Key deliverables include conducting gap analyses, developing security policies, implementing necessary controls, and preparing documentation for IRAP assessments.
The service is designed to reduce compliance costs, streamline processes, and enhance security posture. With ASD-endorsed IRAP assessors and a proven track record, Cyber Sense provides expert guidance to facilitate informed decisions and bridge the gap between technical teams and leadership.
