** IRAP (Infosec Registered Assessors Program)
Australian government's cloud security assessment program — analogous to
[[file:fedramp.org][FedRAMP]]. Cloud services used by Australian government agencies must have an
IRAP assessment. Managed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
Assessment levels: Protected (highest), Secret (top secret), Unclassified DLM.
Who must comply: Cloud providers selling to Australian federal, state, and
local government agencies. Also critical infrastructure providers.
Why it matters: Like FedRAMP and [[file:ismap.org][ISMAP]], IRAP is a procurement gate. An IRAP
Protected-level assessment is expensive and takes 6-12 months. First-mover
advantage: the gate stack's deterministic audit trail can be the primary
evidence artifact, reducing assessment scope/cost.
