Information security is a mandate and hence IRAP Assessment is a Must
Owing to digitization, the modern-day threat landscape is always evolving. Organizations deal with millions of customer data every hour. It is very important for organizations to ensure maximum data protection as they deal with a lot of personal data. Data theft has become one of the most common cybercrimes in the past few years. This is why organizations need to work in tandem with robust technology to secure the sensitive personal data of millions of customers.
The concept of compliance is not just confined to IT. It needs to be a part of the entire organizational philosophy. Compliance should be introduced at every level of operations. Be it investing in new-age technologies or deploying a specialized security team, cybersecurity should be an integral part of business operations. Cloud4C offers a comprehensive suite of compliance-as-a-service offerings backed by innovative automation and cutting-edge technologies to help you build a robust and impenetrable security ecosystem.

What is IRAP Compliance: By Australian Cyber Security Centre
The Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) was developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) and the Australian Signals Directorate. IRAP provides a comprehensive framework for measuring the effectiveness of an enterprise’s security controls and handling of sensitive data (including data of Australian government agencies and local government agencies) against the security policy framework of the Australian Government.
This allows the government to assess whether an enterprise’s data scapes comply with the highest standards of security, risk management activities, ICT Security, and controls.
