IRAP assessment opens new opportunities in Australia’s public sector

There’s excitement in Canberra and beyond, and for good reason.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has completed an independent third-party assessment for Information Security Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) at the PROTECTED classification. So, the Australian public sector has many new cloud options at its disposal.

Created by the Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC), IRAP is Australia’s most stringent compliance framework for cloud service providers. With IRAP, the ACSC furthers its goal of improving the cyber resilience of the Australian community and helping make Australia the most secure place to connect online.
