In today’s environment, IRAP certification is a must for Australian organisations seeking to operate with government agencies, safeguard sensitive data, and build long-term trust. Siege Cyber’s comprehensive IRAP Audit Certification service is designed to simplify and accelerate this process while ensuring you meet every requirement of the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM).
An IRAP Audit is an independent, ASD-endorsed assessment of your organisation’s security controls, documentation, and operational maturity against Australia’s strictest cybersecurity standards. It is mandatory for handling government data and strongly recommended for any business targeting public sector clients or regulated industries.
Initial Consultation:
We gain a precise understanding of your business needs, IRAP objectives, system environment, and government service scope.
Scoping and Planning:
Siege Cyber’s expert IRAP auditors work closely with your team to define in-scope systems, required documentation, and a tailored audit timeline. We clarify regulatory expectations and ensure you’re well-prepared from day one.
Pre-Assessment Readiness Review:
Our team conducts a thorough gap analysis against the ISM and PSPF, identifying compliance shortfalls, architectural weaknesses, and process gaps. We then deliver an actionable remediation roadmap—prioritised for early wins and major risk areas.
Evidence Collection and Control Validation:
We guide your team to produce the correct documents, policies, and technical evidence required by IRAP. Our hands-on approach means fewer surprises at audit time.
IRAP Assessment & Testing:
Our accredited IRAP auditors review your controls, policies, and technical implementations, providing direct feedback throughout. We perform onsite or remote audit activities and coordinate all interactions with the Australian Signals Directorate.
Reporting and Recommendations:
Siege Cyber delivers a comprehensive IRAP Audit Report, including our Security Control Matrix, highlighting areas of strength, compliance gaps, and practical remediation steps. Our team walks you through every finding, ensuring clarity and transparency.
Certification and Ongoing Compliance:
Once you address any outstanding issues, we facilitate your path to full IRAP certification. Siege Cyber remains your cyber advisor, supporting ongoing compliance, regular reviews, and long-term resilience.
