Data privacy and cybersecurity in Wellington.
The failure mode that stops an AI project at the security review is egress nobody can account for.
Wellington runs on government, tech and screen, and most of that work runs on documents. We build AI that reads, drafts and files them, on New Zealand infrastructure.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

- Deterministic egress, so an agent cannot reach an unapproved service
- Per tenant keys, with no shared secret to compromise
- Append only audit logs that hold up in a review
Questions Wellington businesses ask
Where do you start?
With the workflow costing the most time or the most leads. The failure mode that stops an AI project at the security review is egress nobody can account for.
What does this look like for a Wellington business?
Wellington runs on policy, tech, and tight talent pools. AI here is about scaling expertise - not replacing it. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
Do you actually work on data privacy and cybersecurity?
Zero trust by default, deterministic egress, DLP filtering on personal and export controlled material, per tenant keys and immutable audit logs. Aligned with the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and APRA CPS 234, with IRAP pathway controls.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
