A certified third-party organization conducted the IRAP assessment. This assessment ensures that the cloud services are secure with automated and comprehensive security control for authorized use by the Australian government.

Drupal Cloud is based on open-source Drupal and allows organizations to securely and quickly assemble and deploy digital experiences like portals, websites, microsites, and mobile apps. 

The Australian government agencies can now deploy different versions of the Drupal cloud that match their requirements and leverage elasticity, scalability, data sharing, and secure and governed access to the entire network. They can also purchase Drupal cloud via the AWS marketplace providing substantial savings, reduced paperwork, and streamlined RFP process for agencies that already use AWS.
