Airlock Digital has completed an independent IRAP assessment at the PROTECTED level, providing Australian organizations with additional assurance when evaluating application control and endpoint security solutions for sensitive, government, defense, and critical infrastructure environments.
Airlock Digital, a global provider of application control and application whitelisting solutions, today announced the completion of its Independent Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED classification level.
The assessment was conducted by an Australian Signals Directorate (ASD)-approved IRAP assessment body in accordance with the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). It provides Australian organizations with additional independent evidence when assessing the alignment of Airlock Digital’s security controls with applicable Australian Government security expectations, including the ISM and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
For Australian security teams, evaluating a technology provider involves more than assessing functionality. Organizations also need to understand how a provider approaches security, how its controls perform under independent scrutiny, and whether its platform can support the requirements of sensitive and regulated environments.
The completed IRAP assessment provides additional information to support customer due diligence, including for organizations considering cloud-based application control as part of a broader cybersecurity architecture.
Why the IRAP assessment matters to Australian organizations
IRAP provides access to independent security assessments that help organizations understand the security strengths and weaknesses of their information and communications technology systems and services.
Airlock Digital’s completion of an IRAP assessment at the PROTECTED level gives Australian organizations additional independent assurance when evaluating whether the company’s technology aligns with their security, governance, cloud, and risk management requirements.
Across Australia, organizations increasingly value independent cybersecurity assurance. Businesses working with government, defense, and critical infrastructure often need to demonstrate that the technology they use has been assessed against recognized Australian Government security expectations.
For organizations deploying cloud services, an IRAP assessment can form part of a broader review of security controls, deployment architecture, governance processes, and operational responsibilities within the organization’s risk model.
For organizations strengthening their security maturity or working toward Essential Eight Maturity Model alignment, the question is increasingly not only whether potentially malicious activity can be detected, but whether teams can clearly define which applications and activities should be permitted in the first place.
Application control is a key part of the Australian cybersecurity landscape, and Airlock Digital has a history of supporting Australian organizations with stringent security requirements.
Application control for different infrastructure strategies
Australian organizations increasingly operate across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, and highly constrained environments. Application control solutions must work within these operating models rather than forcing organizations to adopt a single architecture.
Airlock Digital offers flexible deployment options, including cloud-delivered and on-premises models, enabling organizations to align application control with their infrastructure strategy, connectivity requirements, and security objectives.
Organizations can also implement application control without relying on continuous external cloud connectivity. This capability is particularly relevant for sensitive, segmented, air-gapped, or otherwise constrained environments with stringent connectivity requirements.
What the IRAP assessment means for organizations evaluating Airlock Digital
Alongside Airlock Digital’s existing security and privacy reports and certifications, the IRAP assessment provides independent evidence to support customer due diligence and technology evaluations.
This includes organizations assessing different implementation approaches. Airlock Digital supports application control across environments where organizations need to balance cloud adoption with specific security, operational, connectivity, or infrastructure requirements.
Airlock Digital helps organizations define what should be allowed across their endpoint environments. Rather than relying solely on a generic definition of trusted software, organizations retain ownership of their trust decisions and use Airlock Digital to manage application whitelisting as a continuous security process.
Airlock Digital enables security and IT teams to:
- Prevent the execution of unauthorized software.
- Establish and maintain clear, organization-defined trust decisions.
- Maintain visibility into the applications and software running across endpoint environments.
- Support application control across cloud-connected, on-premises, and constrained environments.
- Adopt a default-deny security posture while supporting operational stability.
These principles are central to the Airlock Digital approach: clear ownership of trust decisions, predictable enforcement, and application control that works across real-world operating environments.
For Airlock Digital and its customers, the value of the IRAP assessment is clear. It provides independent scrutiny, evidence to support customer due diligence, and another resource to help Australian security teams make informed decisions about defensible cybersecurity technology.
Organizations considering Airlock Digital can contact the company to discuss evaluation requirements, assessment scope, available deployment options, and how Airlock Digital can help define and enforce application control policies while maintaining operational stability.
