Why Partner with an IRAP-Assessed Organization?

In the realm of data security, Australian organizations grapple with significant challenges. Regulatory compliance, data breach threats, public trust, and the need for secure digital transformation are all facets of the puzzle that demand attention. To successfully address these issues, many organizations are turning to partnerships with IRAP-assessed service providers, such as Orbus Software.

Understanding the challenges

Regulatory compliance: Government bodies must adhere to strict regulations to protect sensitive information, often making compliance a resource-intensive exercise.

Data breach threats: As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, public sector and financial services organizations find themselves prime targets. Research from Trellix’s XDR: Redefining the future of cybersecurity report indicates that public sector organizations face an average of 49.73 cybersecurity incidents daily, while finance, insurance and accounting were among the top sectors to notify data breaches, according to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Maintaining public trust: The public's trust in organizations protecting their data is paramount. However, with more than half (57%) of respondents to a GetApp survey saying they feel more concerned about cybersecurity than a year ago, trust can be hard to come by.

Secure digital transformation: In the race to digitize services and meet citizens' expectations, security risks often surface. Organizations must find the balance between modernizing operations and maintaining security.

The IRAP advantage

Partnering with an IRAP-assessed organization addresses these challenges head-on. Why? Because it means the organization adheres to the high data security standards set by the Australian government.
