We're thrilled to announce that CyberTeam has won Start Up or New Business of the Year at the 2025 iSANZ Awards. The event celebrated excellence, innovation, and leadership across Aotearoa New Zealand's cybersecurity sector.
This recognition is a testament to the incredible journey we've been on.
Our Growth Journey
In under three years, we've grown from two passionate founders with a vision to a 10-person cybersecurity team serving more than 30 major clients across New Zealand.
What started as a mission to bring innovative, data-driven cybersecurity solutions to the New Zealand market has evolved into something special. We've had the privilege of working with organisations across government, healthcare, and the private sector. Each partnership has helped New Zealand become safer and more resilient against cyber threats.
Along the way, we launched Speculo, our platform that's transforming how government agencies approach cybersecurity by cutting compliance costs. We've also pioneered threat-informed defence strategies, helping organisations stay ahead of evolving threats.
What This Award Means to Us
This award isn't just about our growth numbers or innovations—it's about the impact we're making. Every day, our team works hard to protect New Zealand organisations from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. We're driven by the belief that cybersecurity should be an enabler, not a hurdle, allowing organisations to thrive in the digital age.
The recognition from iSANZ validates our approach: combining deep technical expertise with a genuine understanding of the New Zealand environment and business culture. It reinforces our commitment to being "not your typical cybersecurity company."
Gratitude
This achievement wouldn't have been possible without our incredible clients. Thank you for believing in our vision and partnering with us on your security journey.
To our talented team—you are the heart of CyberTeam. Your dedication, expertise, and passion for protecting New Zealand make everything we do possible.
And to the wider cybersecurity community: thank you for your collaboration, knowledge sharing, and support. As Kendra Ross, Chair of the iSANZ Board, noted at the awards, "The more we come together to learn from each other—as we do at events like iSANZ—the more resilient we become."
Looking Forward
While we're taking a moment to celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on what matters most: helping organisations navigate the complex and ever-changing threat landscape. We're more committed than ever to innovation and making a tangible difference.
Thank you again, iSANZ, for this incredible honour. Here's to continuing to work together towards a safer New Zealand.
