SYDNEY — MARCH 11, 2026 — Ping Identity, a leader in securing digital identities for the world’s largest enterprises, announced that its PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud has been successfully assessed at the “PROTECTED” level under the Australian Government’s Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP).
IRAP, an initiative of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), independently evaluates the cybersecurity posture of ICT systems against the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). Conducted by ASD-endorsed assessors, it provides an independent evaluation of security controls for systems handling sensitive government data and their alignment with the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF).
This milestone demonstrates Ping Identity’s capability to support government bodies and tightly regulated organisations across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). It can also help streamline procurement processes for agencies and enterprises by providing independent validation of security controls for cloud services.
“This is a major milestone in our commitment to security, data residency, and trust,” said Russ Kirby, CISO at Ping Identity. “Meeting the rigorous requirements of the Australian Government Information Security Manual reinforces our ability to support government and regulated industries with confidence, aligning our controls and infrastructure with the highest regional standards.”
“In completing this IRAP assessment, we strengthen our position in the public sector, deepen our partnerships, and demonstrate that security is embedded in everything we do,” said Ash Diffey, VP, ANZ, Ping Identity. “This milestone reflects our ongoing responsibility to protect data, manage risk proactively, and maintain the trust our customers place in us every day.”
