Search AI company Elastic (NYSE: ESTC) has completed the Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED level for Elastic Cloud.
Elastic says that by achieving IRAP certification, it enables the Australian Government and its agencies working with sensitive government data to validate that their cloud service providers and internal systems meet the security requirements set forth by the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM), “as outlined in the Information Security Manual (ISM) from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC)”.
“With cybersecurity threats evolving daily, we recognise that robust security is not just a feature - it’s a responsibility,” said Anna Mascarelllo, regional vice president of Public Sector, Australia and New Zealand at Elastic. “Achieving IRAP assessment at the Protected level means our Search AI platform can securely manage sensitive information, including data critical to government agencies, underscoring Elastic’s commitment to safeguarding critical infrastructure and delivering secure technology solutions to the Public Sector. As Elastic continues delivering secure, reliable, and compliant Search, Security and Observability solutions, the added flexibility of IRAP will enable Australian government agencies to scale their operations as needed.”
The IRAP framework empowers Elastic’s customers with the freedom to choose the best solutions tailored to their unique business needs, ensuring flexibility, security, and compliance in their digital journey. By attaining IRAP certification, Australian Governments and agencies using
Elastic Cloud will benefit from:
- Enhanced Security Assurance: IRAP guarantees that Elastic Cloud has undergone rigorous assessments by qualified experts and meets stringent security controls.
- Support for Government Workloads: Our platform is now validated to support workloads at the Protected level, opening new opportunities for collaboration with government agencies.
- Ongoing Commitment: IRAP isn’t a “set it and forget it” milestone. Maintaining compliance requires continuous monitoring, updates, and alignment with evolving security standards.
In addition to completing IRAP, Elastic complies with other key information security standards and global regulations, with services that are independently audited and certified to meet various privacy and compliance standards worldwide, including CSA STAR, ISO/IEC 27017, SOC 3, and UK Cyber Essentials Plus. Its commitment to transparency and security is showcased through the Elastic Trust Centre, which provides clear information on security, compliance, privacy, and resiliency for Elastic and the Elastic cloud.
