AvePoint completes IRAP assessment

AvePoint Online Services (AOS) including Cloud Backup, Cloud Governance, Policies & Insights and Cloud Records solutions have been assessed against the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) official controls. The company’s platform and services were assessed to the security classification of PROTECTED, the highest level possible for an independent software vendor.

In 2021, AvePoint partnered with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) to initiate its IRAP assessment process to help modernise and further automate the ATSB’s record management.

This year’s assessment, conducted in partnership with Security Centric, further validates AvePoint’s expertise in helping government organisations secure their digital collaboration data while adhering to the highest standards of security and data protection. More than 230 government entities in Australia use AvePoint to migrate, manage and enhance protection of their Microsoft 365 and SharePoint data.

As Australian government agencies continue to shift to and conduct business in cloud environments with modern approaches to digital collaboration, it is important to implement the right policies and backup plans to mitigate risks and meet records management compliance and security standards, while empowering employees to utilise the tools they need to do their jobs securely. AvePoint’s data management solutions enable governance and compliance with the latest standards and regulations such as NAA, VERS and the Essential Eight Maturity Model.

“The Australian Government has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to transition its workforce operations to the cloud by leveraging cloud-based collaboration platforms such as Microsoft 365,” said Jared Seminoff, Senior Account Executive at AvePoint Australia.

“As trusted partners of hundreds of public sector organisations in Australia, this latest assessment shows our expertise in safely and efficiently helping government agencies manage and protect their data in the evolving digital workplace.”
