What is IRAP Compliance: By Australian Cyber Security Centre

IRAP provides a comprehensive framework for measuring the effectiveness of an enterprise’s security controls and handling of sensitive data (including data of Australian government agencies and local government agencies) against the security policy framework of the Australian Government.

This allows the government to assess whether an enterprise’s data scapes comply with the highest standards of security, risk management activities, ICT Security, and controls.
