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.
