Datadog Achieves IRAP Protected Status in Australia

New assessment gives Australian and New Zealand public sector agencies and regulated industries added confidence that Datadog aligns with the region's stringent security requirements.

Sydney, Australia - October 9, 2025 -Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced the Australian government's Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) successfully assessed Datadog services to the classification level of Protected.

The independently-assessed IRAP Protected classification applies to Datadog's full suite of observability and security capabilities, including Infrastructure Monitoring, Application Performance Monitoring, Log Management, LLM Observability, Bits AI, Cloud SIEM, and Synthetics, deployed in Australia. This gives government agencies and regulated industries added confidence to securely monitor mission-critical workloads with Datadog.

Achieving this benchmark for systems managing government data significantly enhances Datadog's capacity to support government bodies and tightly regulated organisations across the Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ) region. It reinforces trust and compliance, and helps teams detect, investigate, and resolve issues faster across hybrid and cloud environments. It also enables agencies and enterprises to implement Datadog with fewer procurement hurdles, therefore accelerating unified observability and security strategies.

"As a home-grown Australian consultancy, Mantel has a long history of supporting secure, IRAP-compliant platforms," said Fabio Carvana, Head of Managed Services at Mantel. "We see Datadog as an absolutely crucial technology partner in securing data for the public sector. Its achievement of IRAP assessed services for Protected classified information is a huge step that directly enables us to deliver best-in-class, modern observability services with the highest level of government confidence."

This latest milestone strengthens Datadog's ability to drive A/NZ's digital transformation priorities, enable modernisation and operational resilience for government agencies, and support CPS 230 requirements within regulated industries. The decision reinforces Datadog's consistent regional focus, pairing continued product innovation and investment with strong compliance credentials.

"We've cleared one of the highest security bars in Australia and New Zealand, removing roadblocks and accelerating secure cloud adoption for the region's most regulated sectors," said Roz Gregory, Regional Vice President for A/NZ at Datadog. "Government agencies and regulated organisations can confidently rely on Datadog to monitor their most sensitive workloads in line with high security standards."

Datadog's new IRAP assessment builds on prior milestones - such as achieving Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High 'In Process' status in the US - and demonstrates the enterprise's global investment in public sector readiness.

"This new designation underscores our commitment to security, compliance and trust for our customers in A/NZ, and builds on the recent launch of our data centre presence in Australia - proving we're not just investing in the region, but that we're here to power its most critical systems, securely," said Gregory.
