IRAP is ASD's program of independent assessors. Knowing when an IRAP assessment is expected helps an organisation prepare rather than react.
Why it matters
Assurance is more credible when it is independent. Understanding the IRAP process lets an organisation get its evidence in order before an assessor arrives.
How Conformance helps
- Know whether your systems require an independent assessment
- Prepare a current system security plan first
- Gather evidence for each strategy ahead of time
- Fix obvious gaps before the assessment
- Use findings to plan your next maturity step
How Conformance helps
Conformance validates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already produces, shows your maturity level, and tells you the next step to raise it.
