PROTECTED level IRAP for APEX Backup Services

Dell Technologies has completed IRAP Assessment of its APEX Backup Services hosted data protection offering at the PROTECTED level.

APEX Backup Services delivers high-performance and secure digital data backup with disaster recovery, long-term retention and automated compliance. The completion of the IRAP assessment represents the company’s investment in meeting Australian cybersecurity requirements for Australian organisations in addition to its existing certifications. Achieving the ‘protected’ information classification level also assures government agencies that they can use a vendor’s offerings to process and store workloads in a range of use cases.

Data protection, data management and data resilience have become increasingly important in the face of the sophistication and frequency of cyber threats and the acceleration of multicloud architecture adoption.

“Undertaking an IRAP assessment is part of our ongoing global commitment to adhere to local regulations and certifications to ensure customer data is safe during their digital transformation initiatives. As a result, more government departments and agencies will be able to innovate faster and deliver superior customer experiences using hosted data protection like APEX Backup Services,” said Angela Fox, Senior VP and MD of Dell Technologies ANZ.

Following this assessment, Dell Technologies will be submitting its other APEX offerings for approval for Australian Government use in the coming months.
