IsecT Limited is an IT governance consultancy with a background in information security management, IT risk management and computer auditing, and a particular focus on information security awareness. We are based in New Zealand.

Security awareness is an enduring interest that belies our true passion: working with people to improve information security and minimize risks.

For nearly two decades, our consultants have operated and supported computer systems and networks, undertaken risk assessments, planned, implemented, managed and reviewed system security controls, written ISO/IEC 27002 compliant security policies, technical baseline security standards and procedures, managed information security and computer audit functions for several major multinationals in various industries and advised all sorts of people. We have reviewed literally hundreds of locations against the ISO/IEC standards, worked on hundreds of computer systems and related face-to-face with no end of real people doing real jobs - everyone from barely-literate security guards through classical IT gurus to extremely switched-on engineering professors doing rocket science (yes, literally!). We actively contribute to a range of information security, computer audit, IT risk management and governance newsgroups, and have presented to numerous conferences as well as dozens of management teams.

With that experience behind us, we have the qualifications and knowledge to prepare high quality security awareness materials that are technically competent and actually work. Indeed we have planned, delivered, managed and reviewed information security campaigns using the very concepts now embodied in NoticeBored.

NoticeBored itself was launched in June 2003 and has developed continuously ever since. We pride ourselves on the innovation and quality demonstrated by NoticeBored.

IsecT is consciously and deliberately structured as a “virtual company”, meaning a small permanent core staff working in conjunction with a network of trusted partners and suppliers.  This arrangement gives us the flexibility to adapt to the marketplace whilst being able to draw upon the skills of like-minded specialists in information security and other fields. We see no need to manage our own webserver, for a trivial example, when we can contract with a qualified professional to do just that. We refer non-core business leads to our partners and warmly welcome information security referrals from all sources, not least our satisfied customers. This niche approach lets us focus on our core business strengths (working with people on information security - come on, keep up!) and minimize our overheads. We are living proof that high quality and attention to detail do not necessarily mean high prices.

Honesty and integrity are extremely important concepts for us, not just in the security awareness materials we produce but in the way we live and breathe. We could easily hide behind this website like so many faceless web companies but the truth is that we would much rather be up-front with you about the passions that drive us. We enjoy the odd touch of humor and even cynicism that creeps out every now and then, and always welcome constructive criticism. If this approach strikes a chord with you, whether you are a potential customer, partner or supplier, please get in touch. What’s your passion?
