Meet RBNZ and Health NZ security testing requirements
New Zealand's financial and health sectors face rising cyber-resilience expectations. RBNZ's Guidance on Cyber Resilience is principle-based rather than a prescriptive checklist, but expects regulated entities to undertake regular testing and maintain board-level oversight of information security. Te Whatu Ora consolidated 20 DHBs with variable security postures and is investing in security uplift post-Waikato ransomware. NodeZero provides the autonomous testing platform both sectors need.
Your specific challenges
RBNZ cyber-resilience expectations
RBNZ's principle-based Guidance on Cyber Resilience expects regulated entities to test their cyber resilience regularly — penetration testing among the named practices — with board-level oversight and periodic self-assessment reporting.
Te Whatu Ora consolidation challenge
20 previously independent DHBs now consolidated with highly variable security postures. Legacy clinical systems, 10-20 years old, across regions. NZISM guidance expects critical patches applied within 48 hours on external-facing systems.
Limited NZ security market
NZ has fewer qualified pentesters, higher costs, and limited in-house capability. Recruitment and retention challenges as security staff are attracted to Australian salaries.
Built for your situation
Testing aligned to RBNZ guidance
Recurring internal and external pentesting with segmentation validation. Board-ready evidence and detection-time validation through tripwire testing.
Te Whatu Ora regional testing at scale
Transition from per-DHB annual pentests to continuous NodeZero testing across all regions. Consistent methodology, centralised reporting, rapid remediation verification.
Affordable specialist capability
NodeZero's autonomous platform addresses the NZ pentesting skills gap. Enterprise-grade testing without requiring scarce local specialist staff.
