  "account": "Sydney, October 20, 2026 -- Verkada, a pioneer in AI-driven physical security technology, has announced that its cloud-based Command platform and related physical security solutions have successfully passed an InfoSec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment for data classified up to PROTECTED. This assessment, conducted by ASD-endorsed assessors from Neon Cloud, adheres to the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM). Verkada holds the distinction of being the first cloud-managed physical security platform in Australia to achieve this IRAP certification at this classification level. The evaluation process followed Verkada's earlier attainment of FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, expanding the company's security credentials across international markets. Steve Bray, Vice President of Australia and New Zealand at Verkada, emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating that the IRAP assessment underscores the company's dedication to providing robust security solutions for government organizations. These solutions include Video Security, Access Control, Alarms, Intercom, Air Quality Sensors, Verkada Guest, and are built on Zero Trust principles, incorporating features such as single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, encryption, audit logs, and time-bound customer authorization. Verkada's platform also ensures Australian data storage and processing to meet regional governance requirements. Organizations interested in Verkada's IRAP assessment report can access it through the Verkada Trust Center. For further information, visit the company's website at www.verkada.com.",
