Our CWoF gives you a clear snapshot of your business’ cyber health – checking your tech, processes, and people against the latest threats.

It helps you prove you’re prepared for cyber challenges, build client trust, and stay operational even when things go wrong.

Whether it’s the Privacy Act, SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, or NIST, we help you cut through the complexity.

We help you meet compliance requirements in a practical way, so you’re covered in audits, trusted by clients, and not caught off guard when regulators come knocking.

Enquire about compliance

From strategic risk reviews to virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) services, we help you build a cyber plan that actually works.

Our expertise to help you:

Thicken your resilience coat

Start with your people, processes, and technology.

People: Your staff can be your greatest asset. Our cybersecurity awareness and risk training will help them to detect dodgy activity on your computers, and to share what they find with others.

Processes: Customers are increasingly demanding evidence of your cybersecurity posture before they will do business. Get ahead of your competitors and get your cybersecurity policies sorted today.

Technology: It is often difficult to know how well-protected you actually are. We can interpret what your IT team are telling you, and assess and identify any gaps you have in your technical protections.

Manage your risk in a flick of the tail

We’ll plan your response and build a management plan.

Your people, processes and technology can all have vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber criminals.

This means that all organisations, no matter how small, need to take cybersecurity seriously.

At Outfox, our experienced cybersecurity consultants help you understand your cybersecurity risks, and assess what needs to be protected and how you will do it.

Testimonials

Outfox guided us through SOC2 preparation, and an audit – we would have been lost without them.
Jan’s plain language, precise and highly accurate advice enabled us to have the necessary documentation prepared without draining significant resource from our core business. Jan took ownership of the process and guided us in an effective and efficient manner, by breaking down tasks into manageable chunks and then supported us to deliver what we were required to. At the same time, Jan was preparing technical documents and working independently with our IT provider. It was a rare treat to work with someone who has a very high level of technical ability, real world experience from working as a high-achieving cyber manager in a previous life, and a personality that makes it a pleasure to meet, regardless of the dryness of the content. The final product that was produced will not only benefit us in terms of our cybersecurity reputation for clients, but will also sharpen our internal processes. Having come out the other side with our audit we are really pleased with the outcome that Jan and Outfox supported us to achieve. Jan actually goes the extra mile, is incredibly good value for money and do not hesitate to recommend her.

Patrick O'Neill, Managing Director, Global Research

Thanks Jan for updating my security awareness. I thought I had it sussed but after your review and reports I have now increased my security.

Andrew Garner, Garner Wealth Solutions

Our team at IT Works loves partnering with Outfox to ensure our customers have robust Cyber Resilience. Jan and the team are wonderful at making it easy for our customers to understand the risk and provide clear guidance on what steps can be taken to improve overall Cyber Security and Resilience. I love seeing our customers taking action after attending workshops – Highly recommend the team and what they deliver.

Darryl Gatward, Customer Experience Manager, IT Works

We engaged Outfox to do a Cyber WOF. They were extremely knowledgeable and worked well with us through a process of review and assessment and provided excellent insights and guidance on what was required to improve our resilience and protect our valuable data and assets in an increasingly risky world of frequent sophisticated threats. I would recommend the Outfox services to any business that is concerned about its Cyber status and needs support in this highly technical and specialised field. Doing this helped us to feel that we were doing all we could to protect against threats.

Terence Burns, Principal, Karaka Point Consulting

The security policies and plans Outfox have developed were essential to Sys-Integrate meeting the NZ government security compliance goals, and the recent Cyber Security Incident Response exercise was expertly facilitated, with a number of well thought through lessons learnt and recommendations gratefully received. The Outfox focus on giving exemplary customer service is second to none. We look forward to continuing our cyber security resilience journey with your team into the future.

Leksshmanan Alagappan, Director, Sys-Integrate

Thanks to Outfox for the team training on cyber resilience and sorting out our computer and cyber procedures. The Outfox team expertise has been top notch and they are always a pleasure to deal with.

Kirsten Rattray

Jan was fantastic to work with! She’s really friendly and easy to talk to, great at translating what she means if you’re not sure of the terminology, and gives a great report at the end of it! I highly recommend talking to Jan, her knowledge is really up to the minute about the latest threats and has great suggestions as to how you can protect yourself against cyber criminals even when you’ve already got good security in place!

Nicki Kane

Always a pleasure working with Jan and Wendy. They are experts in cyber security and I am always impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. They are an asset to New Zealand and I’m sure will do amazing things.

Adam Blair

We have been working with Outfox for two years. Jan fills the role of Data Security Manager for our SaaS Soc 2 (ISAE 3402) Certification. Last year she reviewed and improved our processes to achieve a Type 1 certification. Over the last 12 months, she has led us in keeping fully Compliant, and we have just achieved our Type 2 Certification. This is a huge milestone and provides a significant differentation for our business, which is mainly based in the US and Europe. Thanks Jan!

Jan came into work to do a Cyber Seminar for our office staff. She was extremely informative, gave tips and tricks and ensured awareness to minimise opportunities for easy cyber attacks. Highly recommend Jan as a cybersecurity specialist.

Jennifer Lang

I have used Jan from Intelligensia* for our business and can highly recommend Jan’s services in identifying any issues and ensuring your cyber security is complete, and that you have a plan and process in place in case you are attacked.

Sonja Jackson, Peter Jackson Plumbing

Jan is great to work with; knowledgeable, pragmatic and able to communicate complex IT / Cyber information simply. Her Cyber Health Check for the Foundation was an excellent starting point for us to develop our understanding of cyber security, areas of risk, and identify our knowledge gaps. Her suite of recommendations was all accepted by the Board and is being implemented.

Joanne Lambert, CEO, Stroke Foundation of New Zealand

Quick and easy audit process, and a very clear and concise report showing what we are doing well and some recommended improvements.
