Business internet needs to do more than home internet.

When your team can’t get online, everything stops. Emails, cloud files, phones, EFTPOS, security cameras. What matters is speed that holds up when everyone’s on at once, a team that knows your setup, and a plan sized for how you actually work.

Devine Business Internet is now live. Unlimited fibre, hyperfibre or wireless broadband, all supported by the local team you already know.

Full plans and pricing are on our website, link in comments. Questions? Get in touch!

Spotted something dodgy? Here’s what to do next.

Cyber Smart Week is all about catching scams early. When one does get through, the next steps matter just as much.

If a scam email, text or call slips through:
• Don't click, reply or pay
• Screenshot it before you delete
• Report scam emails to the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
• Forward suspicious texts to 7726 (free)
• Let your team know so they don't get caught by the same one

Every report helps NCSC spot patterns and warn others before they get caught.

If someone did click, scan or share information, contact your bank straight away, then call us. The faster we act, the more damage we can limit.

Your strongest cyber defence is your people. And your biggest gap can be the ones who have left.

Breaches through ex-staff access aren't usually malicious. They're just leftover logins no one thought to close.

A quick offboarding checklist:
• Turn off email, Microsoft 365 and cloud logins on the last day
• Forward their emails so external contacts still reach the business
• Change wifi and any admin passwords they knew
• Collect and reset any devices
• Remove access to shared drives, systems and calendars
• Take them off bank, Xero, MYOB and social accounts

While you're at it, a few habits worth building in. If they were the only person with access to a system, add someone else. Every important login should have at least two people who can get in. Also make sure multi-factor authentication is on every account that matters.

Want a simple offboarding process tailored to your business? We can help you put one together.

QR codes are turning up in more places, and not all of them are legit.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is warning about a rise in QR code phishing across New Zealand. Scammers are stickering fake QR codes over real ones on parking meters, restaurant tables and payment terminals.

Scanning takes you to a lookalike site that captures your card details.

If you're not sure a QR code is real, don't scan it. Type the address in manually, or use the merchant's app.

Share this with your team so no one gets caught out.

Cyber Smart Week is here.

AI has changed the scam playbook. Emails look more polished. Voices on the phone sound like people you know. Fake login pages match the real thing pixel for pixel.

The strongest defence is still a slow, thoughtful person. If something feels off, it probably is.

Three things worth doing this week:
• Slow down before you click
• Pick up the phone to verify anything unexpected
• Talk to your team about what a scam looks like now

Want to run a scam spotting refresher with your team? We can help.

Cyber Smart Week kicks off on Monday, 5 October.

This year's theme: Find the scam before it finds you

AI is helping scammers create emails, voices and websites that look convincingly real. Scams that were once easy to spot are getting past busy people every day.

Two things worth thinking about:
• Would your team spot a fake invoice or a lookalike login page?
• Is your business protected if someone did click the wrong link?

We'll be sharing practical tips through the week to help you stay a step ahead.

83% of NZ businesses are using AI.

Only 13% have an AI policy in place.

That gap is where the risk sits. Staff drafting emails in ChatGPT, running client data through free AI tools, generating first drafts of reports without anyone knowing what's fair game.

A one-page AI use policy sets clear expectations for your team. What data can go into AI tools, what can't, and who's responsible if something goes wrong.

Ahead of the 87% that don't have one yet, is a good place to be.

We can help you put a personalised AI policy together for your business. Get in touch.

The FIRST NZ Blackbots stopped by our office last week to share their stories from the Canada Cup of Robotics.

The Havelock North High School team travelled to Niagara earlier this year to compete at one of the biggest robotics events in the world, finishing 9th in the Technology Division and getting picked up by the 5th-placed Alliance ahead of the selection round. A credit to the team and how highly regarded their performance was by the other teams.

Hank the Pink Tank has come home, but the team is already thinking about what comes next.

Great to have them in and hear it all first hand. Well done, Blackbots. We're proud to have played a small part in your journey.

The market for business internet and voice looks a bit different this year.

With providers changing hands or leaving altogether, local businesses are working out who to trust with these essential services. Three things worth thinking about:

• Who picks up the phone when something breaks.
• Whether your internet and phones are managed by the same team as your IT.
• How simple your billing is at the end of the month.

That's why we've added Business Internet and Voice to what we offer, sitting alongside your IT support. Same trusted local team, one point of contact, one bill.

New Zealand businesses lost $26.9 million to cybercrime last financial year. In just one quarter of 2025, that figure jumped to $12.4 million.

Those are only the reported numbers. The National Cyber Security Centre has been clear that most incidents never get reported at all.

More than half of NZ small and medium businesses experienced a cyber threat in the first half of 2025. This is not something happening to large corporates in other cities. It is happening to businesses like yours, across every industry, including right here in Hawke's Bay.

The attacks that succeed are not always sophisticated. Most exploit basic gaps: unpatched software, weak passwords, no email security, and no tested backup plan.

That is where we come in. Helping Hawke's Bay businesses identify and close those gaps is exactly what the Devine team does every day.

If you are not sure how your systems would hold up, get in touch for a conversation.
