Dynatrace SaaS has achieved the Australian Government security status "Protected" after completing an assessment performed by an Information Security Assessor Program (IRAP) assessor.
This brings the latest Dynatrace innovations to Australian Government agencies, financial services, utilities, telecommunication, and other Australian enterprises and citizens. It gives all Dynatrace customers confidence that their data resides in a highly secure environment.
IRAP was created by the Australian Cyber Security Center (ACSC), part of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD).
In an increasingly interconnected world, data security is paramount. The Australian government and high-compliance private sectors recognise this urgency and have established stringent requirements to safeguard sensitive information.
Organisations across Australia handle a diverse array of sensitive data, including:
To maintain data integrity and security in the public sector and highly regulated industries, Dynatrace has met the requirements and standards specified in the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM)and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
The ISM is the definitive guide for information security within Australian government agencies. It covers risk assessment, access control, incident response, and secure data handling. Compliance with the ISM ensures robust security practices for government information systems.
The PSPF extends beyond information security to encompass broader protective security principles. It includes physical security, personnel security, information security, and governance. Adherence to the PSPF ensures a coordinated approach to security across government operations.
The Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) plays a pivotal role:
An IRAP assesses and accredits information and communication technology (ICT) systems, the ISM provides detailed security guidelines for government information systems, and the PSPF establishes broader protective security principles for all government operations.
Following an IRAP assessment undertaken by a certified and independent IRAP Assessor, Dynatrace customers and their users can be assured that Dynatrace, as an organisation, adheres to the rigorous security controls mandated by the Australian Government's ISM and PSPF.
