How is the security for my workplace determined?

New Zealand government organisations should take a risk based approach to determining the security measures required to keep their customers, people, information and assets safe.

Key considerations

• Each organisation should make an assessment of threats and risks to determine their own needs.
• The level, and degree, of security measures required in an organisation depends on the size of the agency, the work conducted by the agency (such as whether the agency requires protectively marked material) and the risks they face.

The Protective Security Team is able to provide more advice if required.
