Last weekend our team, and our friends at e2e, swapped keyboards for sh****ns and headed out for an afternoon of clay target shooting!

It was great to get together outside the office, enjoy some friendly competition, learn some new skills, and share plenty of laughs along the way. Whether participants were seasoned shooters or trying it for the first time, everyone got into the spirit of the day.

A big thank you to Warren and Zane at Target Demolition in Motukarara, and everyone who joined in and helped make it such an enjoyable event.

Here's to great teamwork, good company, and hitting the mark both in and out of the office!

Tomorrow our team is swapping keyboards and meetings for clay targets.

It's a great opportunity to get together outside the office, enjoy some fresh air, build stronger team connections, and maybe discover a few hidden sharpshooters among us.

We're looking forward to a fun couple of hours of teamwork, laughs, and a little healthy competition.

Stay tuned for photos and highlights!

When someone leaves, you collect the laptop, cancel the logins, update the org chart.

Then two weeks later the website enquiries stop arriving. Or invoices stop filing themselves. Or the manager stops getting the “new job booked” alert.

Nobody broke anything. The automation that did it was tied to the account you just disabled.

Zapier, Power Automate, Make: most of these workflows are built by one person, run on their login, and nobody else knows they exist until they stop.

Three checks before the next farewell morning tea, in the article below.

Cyber Smart Week has just wrapped up. Most of the advice was aimed at individuals. This one’s for business owners.

More than 80% of identified cyber incidents in New Zealand involve small and medium businesses. So we’ve put together a short advisory with our insurance partner ICIB Brokerweb on what cyber risk looks like for a business in 2026: how attackers actually get in, the three things that make a business resilient, and where cyber insurance fits once the security work is done.

Written for the person who runs the business, not the person who runs the IT.

Cyber Smart Week is on now (5 to 11 October), and the national theme is finding a scam before it finds you. Here’s one that isn’t a hygiene tip, and that most businesses haven’t actually put a rule around:

It’s Cyber Smart Week, so here’s the scam that costs NZ businesses the most money per hit.

Not ransomware. A changed bank account number.

Someone gets into a supplier’s email, or sets up an address one letter off, and sends your accounts team a polite note: “We’ve moved banks, please use these details for the outstanding invoice.” The invoice is real. The amount is real. Only the account number has changed, and by the time the supplier chases payment, the money is gone.

The fix costs nothing. Any change to bank details gets confirmed by phone, on a number you already had, before a cent moves. Write it down as a rule, tell whoever pays the bills, and it stops working on you.

Dan and Greg are heading to Connect Asia Pacific, 17–19 November. Three days with a thousand or so people who run IT and security businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

The agenda is the draw. Sessions on how AI has changed the way attackers get into accounts, what recovery actually looks like when ransomware hits, and a dedicated one on SMB1001 and the Essential Eight, the frameworks our clients are increasingly being asked about.

But most of what's worth bringing home from these things comes from the conversations in between: what other providers are seeing, what's working, what isn't.

If you're going, let us know. Happy to find you there.

Turns out we have a gelato king on the team.

Jan runs a gelato truck in his other life, and this week he brought it to work - well, the important part of it. Scooped at the desk, served in those little green cups, gone in about four minutes.

Our clients get our full attention all day. For four minutes this week, the gelato did.

Find Gelatiamo around Christchurch this summer. Worth the detour.

Don't forget to put your clocks forward one hour before heading to bed on Saturday night!

While we lose an hour of sleep, we gain those longer, brighter evenings that make it easier to enjoy time with friends, family, and colleagues. Whether it's a walk after work, or a backyard BBQ, there's plenty to look forward to!

Here's to warmer days and more sunshine ahead.

You probably have a few security basics sorted already. A backup routine. Maybe a password manager. Two-step login on the important accounts.

What's harder to see is where the gaps are and which one to close first.
Our Readiness Scorecard gives you that picture. Ten minutes, a score out of 100, and a note from our team within 24 hours on what would make the biggest difference.

It's built around SMB1001, the certification standard written for small and medium businesses, so the result points at something you can actually work towards.
