New IRAP Report Release
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has released its latest Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) report, specifically the Phase 1a full assessment, through AWS Artifact. This report is intended for Australian customers and was completed by an independent Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) certified IRAP assessor in June 2026.
Expanded Service Coverage
The new IRAP report incorporates four additional AWS services that have been assessed at the PROTECTED level under IRAP. These newly assessed services include Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Parallel Computing Service, AWS Resilience Hub, and AWS Security Incident Response. This expansion brings the total count of services assessed at the PROTECTED level to 167.
Supporting Documentation for Australian Customers
AWS has also developed an IRAP documentation pack to assist Australian customers and their partners in planning, architecting, and assessing risk for workloads utilizing AWS cloud services. This pack aligns with the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) Cloud Security Guidance and Cloud Assessment and Authorisation framework, referencing the Australian Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM, September 2025 version), the Department of Home Affairs’ Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), and the Digital Transformation Agency’s Secure Cloud Strategy.
The IRAP pack on AWS Artifact further includes updated versions of the AWS Consumer Guide and the whitepaper titled 'Reference Architectures for ISM PROTECTED Workloads in the AWS Cloud'.
