Australian organizations benefit from independent assessments when evaluating application controls in sensitive, government, defense, and critical infrastructure settings.
Airlock Digital, a global provider of application control and whitelisting solutions, has announced the completion of the Independent Information Security Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) Assessment at the PROTECTED level. This assessment was conducted by an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) approved IRAP assessment body in compliance with the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). It offers additional independent evidence for Australian organizations to assess Airlock Digital’s security controls against relevant Australian Government security expectations, including ISM and the Protection Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
Trust in technology providers for Australian security teams goes beyond just functionality. It requires an understanding of the provider’s security approach, the ability of its controls to withstand independent scrutiny, and its support for security requirements in sensitive environments. The completed assessment provides organizations with valuable information for due diligence, particularly those considering cloud-based application controls within their overall security architecture.
Significance for Australian organizations
The IRAP assessment offers access to impartial security evaluations aimed at helping organizations comprehend the security strengths and weaknesses of their information and communication technology systems and services. Airlock Digital’s PROTECTED-level assessment provides added assurance for Australian organizations to determine if the company’s technology aligns with their security, governance, cloud, and risk needs.
Amid growing demand for independent security assurance in the Australian market, organizations in government, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors often need to showcase that the technology they rely on meets the Australian Government’s established security expectations. This assurance plays a crucial role in assessing how security controls, deployment architecture, governance, and operational responsibilities fit into an organization’s risk model.
Supporting diverse infrastructure strategies
Australian organizations now operate in a mix of cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and highly restricted environments. Application controls must adapt to these diverse operating models rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all architecture. Airlock Digital offers flexible deployment options, including cloud delivery and on-premises models, enabling organizations to align application controls with their infrastructure strategy and security prerequisites. Additionally, organizations can implement application control without constant reliance on external cloud connectivity, particularly in environments with stringent connectivity requirements.
Implications for organizations assessing Airlock Digital
Aside from Airlock Digital’s existing security and privacy reports and certifications, the IRAP assessment serves as independent evidence to support customer due diligence. It aids organizations in evaluating various implementation approaches, ensuring that application control is supported across environments where cloud adoption must balance with specific security, operational, connectivity, or infrastructure needs.
Airlock Digital empowers security and IT teams to prevent unauthorized software execution, maintain clear ownership of trust decisions, monitor endpoint environments effectively, and deploy application control across various environments while upholding stability. These principles reflect Airlock Digital’s commitment to clear trust ownership, predictable enforcement, and adaptable security controls suitable for real-world environments.
For Airlock Digital and its customers, the value of the IRAP assessment lies in its independent scrutiny, evidence for customer due diligence, and assistance in making informed decisions about secure technology. Organizations interested in Airlock Digital can reach out to the company to explore evaluation and deployment options, as well as how Airlock Digital can help maintain operational stability while achieving defined security objectives.
