Understanding NZ Security Requirements
Making New Zealand's privacy and security frameworks accessible
New Zealand has specific privacy laws and security frameworks that can be confusing to navigate. We help individuals and businesses understand what these mean in practical terms and implement appropriate protection measures without unnecessary complexity.
Key Security Frameworks
NZISM
The government's comprehensive manual for protecting official information. It outlines security controls, risk management approaches, and technical requirements for government agencies and their partners.
Protective Security Requirements
An all-of-government framework covering personnel, physical, and information security measures for protecting sensitive government information.
International Standards
Various international standards and certifications recognized within New Zealand security frameworks, including FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, and other validation programs.
