Commvault Completes IRAP Assessment at the PROTECTED level

Helping ensure exceptional data security and rapid recoverability for Australian government agencies and IT partners

TINTON FALLS, NJ – October 26, 2023 – Commvault, a leading provider of data protection and cyber resilience solutions for hybrid cloud organizations, today announced that its portfolio of SaaS-delivered data protection solutions has completed an assessment by the Infosec Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) at the PROTECTED level. Administered by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), the IRAP framework ensures that technology providers meet the highest security and integrity protocols in line with the Australian government’s information security standards.

IRAP provides a common framework to assess a solution’s security posture and resiliency from advanced threats. By conducting an in-depth examination of software architecture, documentation, design, and security protocols, an IRAP assessment ensures government agencies and contractors can confidently adopt Commvault solutions by being informed of their compliance and risk status as well as their security responsibilities. It also further exemplifies Commvault’s commitment to global data security, adding to its current position as the only SaaS data protection portfolio to meet FedRAMP High (In Process) status, with the approved ATO signed by the Department of Treasury on July 12, 2023.

“While IRAP is an Australian-centric security framework, this assessment underlines the country’s global commitment to upholding best-in-class security standards, resonating with frameworks like FedRAMP. Completing an IRAP assessment is a testament to our mission of providing industry-leading protection of data against ransomware and the evolving cyber threat landscape,” said Martin Creighan, Vice President for Asia Pacific, Commvault.

With cyber threats continuing to escalate, private and public sector entities are under increased pressure to bolster their data security and cyber recovery measures. In fact, according to a new Commvault report commissioned in partnership with IDC, both IT and business leaders understand the constant risk and dire consequences of a cyber attack, with 61% of respondents believing that data loss within the next 12 months is “likely” to “highly likely” to occur due to increasingly sophisticated access.¹

The scope of the assessment included Commvault’s Software as a Service Cloud Service Offering (named Metallic) deployed within the Australian Region of Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Commvault’s enhanced security capabilities and solutions for cyber resilience are not only designed to offer exceptional compliance capabilities, but also offer peace of mind in terms of rapid recovery – critical in an age of escalating and non-stop cyber threats.
