To address this need, Datadog has pursued and received an Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment at the PROTECTED level. This is an advanced classification under the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) framework for cloud and SaaS security.

When it comes to safeguarding digital assets, institutions require optionality: secure digital assets self-custody for day-to-day control, and access to qualified custody when regulatory or fiduciary obligations demand it. All delivered through integrated, trusted infrastructure.
