Opportunities for business with National Security Agencies The New Zealand Government describes national security as ‘the condition which permits the citizens of a state to go about their daily business confidently free from fear and able to make the most of opportunities to advance their way of life. It encompasses the preparedness, protection and preservation of people, and of property and information, both tangible and intangible.’ The National Security System Handbook 2016 which launched this definition, is the go to guide on New Zealand’s approach to National Security. The Handbook also identifies all the agencies which work together and are identified as National Security Agencies. For ease of reference NZDIA has created the graphic on the facing page to allow industry to quickly identify all these agencies. NZDIA has also reflected the key role of each agency working alongside NZDF and MOD to deliver on New Zealand’s Strategic Defence Policy Statement across the areas of Community, Nation and World. The focus of NZDIA in 2019 and into 2020, beyond working to support industry in engaging with MOD and NZDF, is to work increasingly with industry and other associations in engaging with these other agencies. Together we can collaborate to achieve the New Zealand Government’s national security strategy outcomes.
