We’re New Zealand’s domestic security intelligence agency and lead organisation for human intelligence (HUMINT).
Our current priorities include:
In addition we are addressing the recommendations of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the terrorist attack on Christchurch masjidain.
Each year we publish our independent assessment of the threats of foreign interference, espionage, violent extremism and terrorism facing New Zealand.
We detect, investigate and work to disrupt possible espionage and foreign interference threats taking place in or against New Zealand.
We detect and investigate domestic and international violent extremist threats, working with other agencies to stop these threats escalating into acts of terrorism.
We assess national security threats to help government agencies with decisions.
We help protect people, information, and assets.
We are committed to addressing the recommendations of the Royal Commission.
This guidance is designed to help protect New Zealand’s emerging technology companies from a range of threats, particularly those posed by foreign-state actors.
The NZSIS collaborates with a range of communities and organisations around New Zealand to find ways we can work together to keep each other safe.
