Elastic completes IRAP assessment for Elastic Cloud

Search AI company Elastic has completed an Information Security Registered Assessors’ Program (IRAP) assessment for its Elastic Cloud solution.

The assessment of the hosted enterprise data search management service demonstrates that Elastic Cloud has the security controlled in place required to manage data up to the Protected classification level. The certification will open up new opportunities for contracts with government agencies, according to the company’s regional VP for Public Sector in Australia and New Zealand Anna Mascarello.

“With cybersecurity threats evolving daily, we recognise that robust security is not just a feature — it’s a responsibility,” she said. “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.”

Elastic has committed to maintaining ongoing compliance with the standard, which requires alignment with evolving security standards.

As well as IRAP certification, Elastic is compliant with other key information security standards including the UK Cyber Essentials Plus, as well as the ISO/IEC 27017 standard.
