Why work with Ivanka on New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM)

The New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) provides information security guidance for New Zealand Government agencies. Maintained by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) via the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The NZISM specifies mandatory and recommended security controls covering governance, physical security, personnel, ICT equipment, software, networking, cryptography, and cloud computing. Applicable to all NZ government agencies processing RESTRICTED, CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, and TOP SECRET information.

Most consultants approach New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) as a checkbox exercise. Ivanka approaches it as a strategic lever. With 25 years of building The Art of Service – a compliance platform now covering 692 frameworks and 819,000+ cross-framework mappings – she doesn't just understand the standard. She understands how it connects to everything else your organisation is already doing.

This matters because New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM) doesn't exist in isolation. Ivanka will map your current compliance posture against the 24 controls across 2 domains, identify gaps, and show you where existing controls from other frameworks you may already follow can be leveraged – saving months of redundant work.
