Zoom completes IRAP security assessment

Zoom has completed an Australian Information Security Registered Assessor Program (IRAP) assessment.

The independent assessment covers the majority of the Zoom platform, including Zoom Meetings, Zoom Chat, Zoom Webinar, Zoom Events and Zoom Phone, and represents an important milestone in Zoom’s positioning to serve the Australian government market.

“Security and privacy are at the forefront of everything we do at Zoom,” said Michael Chetner, Head of Zoom Australia and New Zealand.

“The IRAP assessment verifies that Zoom’s products are well-positioned when judged against Australian security standards for delivering communications services to the Australian public sector. We are committed to providing a robust collaboration and communication experience for all Australians.”

Australian government agencies use IRAP assessments to maintain their own security assurance and risk management programs, and confirm whether solutions are suitable to operate within those environments. Zoom works closely with federal, state and local government entities in Australia, and enables government agencies to provide services in areas such as education, health care and the environment.

Third-party assessments of the company’s security framework help maintain Zoom’s commitment to delivering a seamless communications experience to its customers that conforms to prevailing security standards. Other recent industry-recognised certifications and standards include Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 2, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and SOC 2+ HITRUST.
