We have operated in New Zealand for over 20 years and today we manage the IT infrastructure of over 250 NZ based customers, who rate their satisfaction with us at >97%.
We recognise that information security cannot be addressed through a ‘once-and-done’ approach – it requires continuous investment to assess, improve and maintain the overall security posture of a business. We also know that organisations do not have unlimited funds available to improve their security. To meet this challenge, we believe in taking a pragmatic approach to cybersecurity. We cut through jargon and give practical recommendations to give our customers peace-of-mind that they have an appropriate security strategy and controls in place to minimise business risk.
Our approach follows a 3-stage process:
Measure – we assess your security maturity to measure your current state and your exposure to cyber risks. These assessments cover security governance (including risk management, policy and process), technical security controls and vulnerability baselining.
Remediate – we take the findings from the assessments to develop a programme of remedial work to address any issues and fix any security gaps. Depending on your specific situation and the level of investment available, this may be a few project initiatives or a long-term programme of work.
Manage – we help you stay secure in the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape. Through continuous monitoring and alerting services from our Security Operations Centre, and ongoing advice and guidance from our Security Consultants, we help you continually improve to stay ahead of threats.
