Accelerate compliance and strengthen assurance for secure cloud workloads
End-to-end IRAP readiness for SaaS, agencies and regulated enterprises. Our approach is cloud-agnostic – supporting AWS, Azure, GCP and hybrid environments.
This tested method consistently delivers strong IRAP outcomes; across recent engagements we’ve seen 20–40+ percentage-point uplifts in ISM control compliance prior to assessment.
The Challenge
Meeting ISM controls and preparing assessor-ready evidence can delay cloud adoption and market access.
Complexity slows delivery
Interpreting ISM, selecting applicable controls, and aligning SaaS architectures creates uncertainty and rework.
Compliance needs consistency
Documentation and control evidence must be repeatable, defensible and aligned to IRAP expectations.
Cost & timeline risk
Late discovery of gaps in identity, logging, encryption or monitoring drives overruns and audit friction.
The Solution
A structured, repeatable pathway to uplift your security posture and achieve IRAP-ready compliance – from gap analysis and remediation, through documentation and simulation, to assessor coordination.
Our approach is field-tested to produce strong IRAP compliance and clearer audit outcomes.
1. Gap Analysis & Recommendations
Assess your organisation and platform against the latest ISM; prioritise uplift tasks and owners.
- ISM traceability & gap report
- Actionable uplift plan & risk items
2. Security Documentation & Policies
Create or update assessor-ready artefacts tailored to SaaS and agency contexts.
- SSP & SSP-Annex (control status)
- Security Risk Management Plan / Table
- Consumer Responsibility Matrix & SRM
- SOPs & security registers
3. Technical Uplift & Remediation
Guidance to implement/evidence controls across critical domains.
- Identity & access, RBAC & MFA
- Encryption, key management
- Logging & monitoring pipelines
- Incident response & supply chain
4. IRAP Simulation Workshops
We role-play IRAP assessors to test evidence quality and refine justifications before the assessment.
- Scenario Q&A and evidence matrices
- Coaching for engineering & InfoSec
5. Assessor Liaison & Review
Support to select and coordinate with IRAP assessors; review deliverables for clarity and impact.
- Cloud Security Controls Matrix review
- IRAP Assessment Report language review
Multi-Cloud Expertise
Our consultants have extensive experience across all major cloud providers – ensuring your compliance journey fits your chosen platform.
- Tailored to your cloud strategy
- Ready for hybrid and sovereign deployments
