Fast Track ISM-ready cloud environments and IRAP Assessments with Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS

This article announces the availability of an independent assessment report analyzing how Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) can automatically deploy multi-account environments with Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) security controls coverage.

• LZA achieves Full or Partial coverage for 234 of 256 addressable ISM controls (91%)
• Independent third-party analysis conducted by AWS Partner gwi.digital evaluated LZA against all 1,081 ISM controls
• Controls Acceptance Testing Suite (CATS) automates compliance validation with 3,600+ tests across six AWS accounts
• CATS generates machine-readable evidence, ISM-enriched reporting, and OSCAL export for continuous drift detection
• LZA Compliance Workbook maps ISM requirements to security implementation statements for documentation
• Assessment reduces IRAP scoping effort and replaces manual audits with ongoing automated assurance

Australian organizations can now use LZA with documented validation to accelerate IRAP assessment timelines while achieving reliable compliance outcomes.
