About us

New Zealand's cybersecurity experts, serving private and public sector clients, locally and internationally, since 1989.

Cybersecurity challenges can in fact be symptoms of wider issues, which are often complex and interconnected. Too often we see software tools being purchased to solve the most obvious symptoms, but fail to address the bigger underlying problems.
‍
That's why we take a client-centric, strategy-first approach to cybersecurity. To work with you define the underlying challenges and needs, and inform the best pathway forward – which may or may not involve purchasing new tech.
‍
Our experts, drawing on our decades of experience, will work with you to make smarter decisions around getting the most out of the tools you've already got, or selecting the very best new tools for you to buy and how to optimise them.

Innovative thought leaders,
pragmatic problem solvers

We love a good challenge, and solving gnarly cybersecurity problems is one of the things we do best. As thought leaders, we anticipate evolving cybersecurity threats, and create innovative, yet pragmatic solutions to meet them head-on.

Super friendly, super honest

We are known for our genuine, friendly team. But we are also fiercely independent, not beholden to any large, international software vendors or consulting networks. As such we'll tell you exactly what you need to hear, honestly and independently...but in a nice way of course.

Entrepreneurial cybersecurity

We bring an entrepreneurial, commercial mindset to cybersecurity. We're always scouting around the globe for new and clever tools and techniques, and combining them in new ways, to deliver even greater security with less hassle to our clients.

A long-term view of  customer success

We get Australasian businesses, because we are one and always have been. Ever since the 80s, we've been helping keep organisations in our part of the world secure, through economic cycles and technological upheavals. We take a long-term view to relationships and know how to help clients successfully adapt to fast-evolving environments over time.

Personal support,  
in your time zone

Big tech support is infamous for its focus on their largest clients, and where everyone else is just a ticket number that's up in the thousands. With us, you'll receive personal, priority support, from someone that actually knows your name and is based right here in New Zealand.
