Workato completes IRAP assessment

Enterprise orchestration platform developer Workato has completed an Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment, certifying the platform’s suitability to handle Australian government data up to the Protected classification level.

The assessment against the Australian government’s Information Security Manual controls complements the company’s recent security achievements including gaining ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications. Achieving the certification will enable Workato to expand its presence in the Australian public sector and regulated industries.

According to Workato GM for ANZ John Deeb, the assessment reflects the company’s security-first policies and practices including avoiding sharing data across data centres in different geographies, using data masking to protect sensitive data within workflows, and enabling customers to set custom data retention policies.

“Many government agencies face challenges with siloed data and fragmented processes, which increase operational burdens and inefficiencies. These agencies are looking for cloud-based enterprise orchestration solutions that connect applications and processes end-to-end while being simple to implement and secure,” he said.

“Workato has always prioritised providing government agencies and organisations with a secure, efficient platform to orchestrate their technology stacks. Completing the IRAP assessment, together with our extensive security features, gives our customers greater confidence in consolidating workflows and applications into one platform while maintaining complete data sovereignty within Australia.”
