Security
Managed Security for Australian and New Zealand Businesses
24x7 detection and response, dark web monitoring, patch management, and security awareness training - built into every plan. Security that works without you having to manage it.
The reality for most NZ businesses
Three things that keep the risk high
Most NZ businesses won't know they've been breached until it's too late
The average time to detect a breach is over six months. By then, data has already left the building. Waiting until something goes wrong isn't a security strategy - it's a liability.
Your staff are your biggest security risk - and nobody's training them
Phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords account for the majority of breaches. Your team doesn't need to be experts - they just need the right tools and ongoing awareness.
You have security tools, but nobody's watching them
Antivirus, firewalls, and basic monitoring are table stakes. What matters is what happens when something triggers - who investigates, how fast, and what they do about it.
What we actually do
Security that runs in the background - not in your head.
Detect
Managed detection and response: 24x7 threat monitoring with human oversight. When something suspicious happens, we investigate and act - not just alert and leave you to figure it out.
Protect
Business-grade password manager, dark web monitoring, and email security. Practical controls that stop the most common attacks before they reach your team.
Patch
Vulnerability scanning and patch management across your environment. Known vulnerabilities get fixed before they get exploited - not when you remember to do them.
Train
Security awareness training through KnowBe4. Your team learns to recognise phishing and social engineering - reducing the risk before it reaches your inbox.
Security stack
Included in every plan
Most IT providers charge extra for security tools. We include them from day one - because security isn't optional.
24x7 threat detection. Human oversight.
Managed detection and response
AI-powered detection with a security operations team behind it. Threats get investigated by people, not just flagged by a tool and left in a queue.
Monitoring the dark web for your data.
Dark web monitoring
We continuously scan for your business data on dark web marketplaces. If credentials or sensitive information surfaces, you know immediately - before attackers act on it.
Password security, handled properly.
Business password manager
A managed password manager for every user. No more sticky notes, repeated passwords, or shared credentials stored in a spreadsheet.
Security awareness, not just compliance.
KnowBe4 security training
Regular simulated phishing and security awareness training. Your team stays alert without you having to run the programme - we manage it as part of the service.
Pricing
Security included - not charged separately
The core security stack is built into every managed IT plan. No add-on fees for the tools that should be standard. See full plan details and pricing on the pricing page.

Common questions
What people ask about security
Is security included in your IT support plans?
Yes. Every managed IT plan includes a core security stack: business-grade password manager, dark web monitoring, vulnerability scanning, 24x7 managed detection and response, and security awareness training. Security isn't an add-on - it's built into the service from day one.
What does MDR actually do when something is detected?
Managed detection and response means a security operations team investigates alerts in real time - not just forwarding notifications to you. When a threat is confirmed, they contain it and notify you with a clear summary of what happened and what was done. You're not left to action it yourself.
Do you help with compliance requirements?
We can align your security posture to common frameworks including the NZ Information Security Manual and CIS Controls. If you have a specific compliance requirement - whether from a client, insurer, or regulator - talk to us and we'll assess what's needed.
