I would like to take a moment to thank you for a very well organised and conducted IRAP training course by the Australian Cyber Collaboration Centre last week. It was great to have Dean as the trainer who provided informative insights to ASD’s messaging on the IRAP program and shared some of his valuable experience as an IRAP Assessor. It would have been great if we could have attended the training in person, however I was still happy and satisfied with the way it was virtually conducted as well.”
