Snowflake® is proud to announce that it has completed an Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment for its deployment in the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Melbourne region, confirming alignment with the Australian Government’s Protected level control requirements.
For Australian government agencies, unlocking the full value of data is essential to improve service delivery, strengthen security controls and enable faster, better-informed decisions. As agencies modernise legacy environments and manage growing volumes of sensitive information, they need a platform that supports secure analytics, governed collaboration and operational scale.
With the completion of this IRAP assessment, Snowflake is better positioned to support agencies that require services aligned to the Australian Government’s Protected security requirements. The assessment was conducted by Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) endorsed third-party assessors and evaluated against controls identified in the ASD Information Security Manual (ISM).
This milestone builds on Snowflake’s existing support for protected workloads in Australia across AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) and Microsoft Azure Australia East (New South Wales) regions, extending that commitment to now include Google Cloud Platform Australia Southeast 2 (Melbourne). With this expansion, Snowflake continues to broaden customer choice for deploying protected data workloads across leading cloud providers in Australia.
