Understanding IRAP in context helps decision-makers choose the right framework:
IRAP vs ISO 27001 – ISO 27001 is international, IRAP is mandatory for systems processing Australian Government data.
IRAP vs SOC 2 – SOC 2 is US-based, IRAP aligns with ASD’s ISM and PSPF.
IRAP + Essential Eight – Together they form a maturity roadmap from baseline security to government-grade compliance.
How long does an IRAP assessment take?
Most IRAP assessments take 6–10 weeks, depending on system complexity and your readiness of evidence and documentation.
Does IRAP provide certification?
No – IRAP is not a certification. It provides independent assurance to support risk decisions and Authority to Operate (ATO) approvals. IRAP Assessment Report and Controls Matrix will be provided at completion
Who needs an IRAP assessment?
Any organisation providing ICT systems or cloud services to Australian Government agencies or handling sensitive/regulated data.
What documents are required?
Typically (Guidance only) a System Security Plan (SSP), system risk management plan (SRMP) and register, Cyber incident response plan, Continuous management plan, SOA or SSP Annex and other evidence of control implementation against the ISM.
