Protecting New Zealand Businesses from Cyber Threats
Cyber attacks are now very real in New Zealand. Being “that little country at the bottom of the world in the middle of the ocean” is no longer isolating us from these attacks. Every business, regardless of size, is a potential target.
At Resolve, we take a layered approach to cyber security — combining staff training, endpoint protection, network security, and proactive monitoring to keep your business safe.
Security Awareness Training
Employees have long been viewed as the weakest link in a business’s cyber security chain, and human error is still the number one cause of data breaches. The traditional annual security awareness training video or company memo just isn’t enough.
Our programme includes:
- Security Awareness Training — assess each user’s security knowledge gaps and automate regular training courses that tackle their unique risk areas
- Simulated Phishing — automate periodic phishing simulations that assess your employees’ ongoing risk to a range of attack techniques, and instantly train users dependent on their level of risk
MultiFactor Authentication (MFA)
Even knowing a little about you — your name and the city you live in — a cybercriminal can use social media and your business website to find detailed information and compromise your access credentials. MFA adds a “something you have” layer to your security profile, securing all your business services — email, CRM, accounting systems — via an app on your phone.
Cyber insurance policies are now starting to insist that your business services are protected by MultiFactor Access protection. Resolve can deploy and manage MFA across your entire organisation.
Business Security Assessment
It is now becoming prudent to have a regular check-up of your IT system, like a car’s warrant of fitness. Our business security assessment interrogates your IT systems with a variety of scanning tools to identify what is operational on the network and if it is up to date. These checks cover all devices connected to your network — plugged in or via Wi-Fi.
The programme identifies commonly targeted exploitation areas, scans for weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and provides a list of actionable changes to reduce your exposure — protecting your network, business, client data, and your investment.
Technical Security Solutions
- Endpoint Security — advanced protection for all devices connecting to your network
- Network Security — firewall management, secure Wi-Fi, and network monitoring
- Managed Penetration Testing — understand your exposure before a hacker takes an interest
- Email Security & Phishing Protection — filter threats before they reach your inbox
Cyber Incident Response
Knowing exactly the nature of a cyber-attack on your business dictates the level of recovery response required, and who needs to be informed — from government departments and the Privacy Commissioner to insurance companies and clients.
Resolve Defence have qualified IT Forensic Security personnel, with registered Private Investigation credentials, who can analyse breached services, identify the method of access, and investigate the level of infestation and possible identification of any extracted data.
Armed with this information and working with your business’s Cyber Response and insurance companies, your business recovery process can proceed.

- SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Preparation — assess your current posture against audit frameworks, identify gaps, and build a remediation roadmap
- IT & Cyber Security Policies — we write practical, board-ready IT security, acceptable use, incident response, and data governance policies tailored to your organisation

- Ongoing Compliance Support — maintain compliance between audits with regular reviews and policy updates
Cyber Insurance Compliance
Insurers are increasingly asking: Do you have an active user cyber awareness training program? Resolve can help you answer “yes” — protecting both your business and your insurability.
