IRAP Assessment Process

An IRAP assessment is a meticulous and independent evaluation of the implementation, appropriateness, and effectiveness of a system’s security controls. This assessment is conducted against the Australian government’s security requirements as outlined in the ISM, PSPF, and any other security requirements established by the Australian government. Once RA's IRAP assessor is engaged, the assessment process evolves as follows:
1

Understanding the System

The IRAP Assessor begins by thoroughly understanding the organisation's system and assessing associated risks.
2

Reviewing Existing Controls

The assessor meticulously reviews and evaluates existing controls in place, followed by implementation status.
3

Identifying Weaknesses

Through comprehensive analysis, the assessor identifies any weaknesses in the security posture and suggests effective mitigation strategies.
4

Assessment Report​

A detailed assessment report is drafted, documenting that what system has been tested against which cybersecurity requirement and whether or not system meeting those requirements.
