Tenable Cloud Security Completed IRAP Assessment at the PROTECTED Level

Australian government agencies can now confidently deploy Tenable Cloud Security following its assessment against PROTECTED level controls under the IRAP framework.

October 14, 2025 · Sydney, Australia

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced that Tenable Cloud Security has been successfully assessed at the “PROTECTED” level under the Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP). 

An Australian Signals Directorate-endorsed IRAP Assessor has assessed the security controls implemented by Tenable to protect its Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) against the Information Security Manual (ISM) controls at the PROTECTED level. This provides government entities with assurance that the platform’s underlying security measures were independently reviewed, helping them make informed, risk-based decisions when considering Tenable to support their own cloud security needs. The assessment empowers agencies to leverage Tenable Cloud Security to gain comprehensive visibility across their cloud infrastructure, enabling them to detect and remediate security exposures with greater speed and confidence.

"Cloud environments offer government agencies unparalleled agility and scalability, but they also introduce significant security complexities and risk exposure," said Robert Huber, chief security officer, head of Research, and president of Public Sector at Tenable. "The IRAP assessment is a critical assurance mechanism, and completing this 'PROTECTED' assessment underscores our unwavering commitment to meeting the high standards of the Australian government.” 

As agencies increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, they face challenges from siloed security tools and a shortage of cloud expertise. Tenable Cloud Security addresses these issues by providing a single, unified platform that embeds security throughout the entire cloud development lifecycle. This proactive approach helps organisations identify and fix vulnerabilities in code before they reach production, reducing the window of opportunity for attackers and enhancing threat visibility across the entire cloud footprint.
