The Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) is an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) initiative developed to provide high-quality security assessment services to the Australian Government and Industry. ASD-endorsed IRAP Assessors from Pacific Aerospace Consulting (PAC) will deliver this presentation and inform attendees on the IRAP assessment lifecycle and how to focus their efforts to maximise success. It will explore the requirements under the PSPF, which DISP and Government entities are affected, how to prepare for an assessment, what to expect, and common pitfalls.

Topics covered:

• What is an IRAP assessment?
• Government policy relating to IRAP.
• Which organisations require IRAP assessment?
• How requirements of the PSPF may affect DISP organisations during the selection of technology?
• Introduction to the ISM and E8.
• The IRAP assessment lifecycle.
• What can an organisation expect from an IRAP assessor?
• How to prepare for an IRAP assessment?
• Post-IRAP actions.

Please note, the same webinar will be presented on 2 separate occasions to make it easier for attendees to select a date which best suits their calendar.
