Adobe completes Australian IRAP Assessment for Adobe Sign

Company News: Adobe today announced it completed its assessment with the Australian Information Security Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) for Adobe Sign, the market-leading e-signature solution in Adobe Document Cloud.  With cyber and information security being a top national priority, IRAP was established by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) initiative with an aim to provide high-quality information and communications technology (ICT) security assessment services to government and industries.

The IRAP assessment demonstrates Adobe’s commitment to creating better and safer citizen experiences when working with digital governments around the world.

Globally, Adobe is working with government and regulatory bodies to help accelerate digital government experiences by keeping security top of mind.   In the US, Adobe is FedRAMP-authorised and recently announced it partnered with government agencies across all 50 states to power digital modernisation through Adobe Document Cloud. Adobe also supports the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in Singapore Adobe recently announced support for ‘Sign with Singpass,” a government National Digital Identity project that will enable digital document signing on a number of platforms, including Adobe.

Adobe Sign joins IRAP certified Adobe Experience Manager, as a managed service, as the second Adobe platform with assessment from IRAP, allowing customers to interact smoothly and with enhanced security with government agencies.

“As a platform, our aim is to meet the highest level of security for our customers both locally and globally,” said Chandra Sinnathamby, Head of Adobe Document Cloud, Asia Pacific. “We’ve seen an exponential growth of the use of digital documents across the region, with many people using e-sign for the first time last year. Our assessment highlights our dedication to providing a safe platform to further enhance citizen experiences.”

“As a Platinum Partner, Data#3 has become Adobe’s largest Australian Solution Partner by helping customers to transform the way they do business leveraging Adobe’s innovative solutions. Our customers listed cybersecurity as their number one technology priority in a recent survey, so it’s fantastic to see Adobe completing the IRAP assessment for its Adobe Sign platform. We look forward to continuing to work with Adobe to provide market-leading solutions to our customers,” said George Rodgers, National Vendor Manager at Data#3.

The imperative for equitable, secure and personalised digital citizen experiences was also revealed in the recent Adobe and Deloitte Blueprint for Enhanced Citizen Experiences report - a survey of 1,000 Australians that examines Australians’ experiences, values, preferences and expectations from digital government services.

The research revealed that data security and privacy is a top priority, with 20 per cent of people stating that the safe and ethical storage of their data is one of the most important factors when choosing where to access public information.

“Data security remains top of mind for Adobe and Australians, and we are committed to meeting their security needs. The IRAP Assessment of our Adobe Sign platform means we can help governments and businesses deliver better digital experiences with trust and security built at the core,” said Suzanne Steele, Vice President at Adobe Australia and New Zealand.
