You know your IT provider is doing a good job if they have a plan for the unthinkable. Are you willing to bet on yours?
Pipeline and Civil is an Auckland-based, private-owned, employee-owned company specialising in building water and waste pipelines. And because the company is wholly owned by the senior management and supervisory staff, this translates into a boutique experience for their clients.
The company is growing about 50% year-on-year in the past few years. The main driver of this success is their superior client and stakeholder engagement, the retention of technically skilled staff and risk management processes.
But this growth didnât come without its fair share of challenges. Andy Corbett, whose official title is Commercial Manager, but also oversees the companyâs IT infrastructure, shares that they have a âreactionary approach to managing ITâ and that they needed to change that.

Far too often, businesses delay switching IT providers because of the switching costs. By the time something "big" comes up, it's too late. You could have prevented that from happening. And it doesn't have to be that way.
The company is growing about 50% year-on-year in the past few years. The main driver of this success is their superior client and stakeholder engagement, the retention of technically skilled staff and risk management processes.
Pipeline and Civil was originally working with a small IT provider for a number of years. But this IT provider wasnât helping Andy and the team focus on its core business.
Andy said âwe have quite a basic maintenance/arrangement with a small IT company but we were very much driving itâŠI was basically trying to manage day-to-day stuff: software issues, new software, my mouse isnât working, that kind of stuff. â And this is taking up too much time from Andy. Instead of finding new projects and other big picture strategies, Andy is stuck solving everyday technical issues.
As with most companies, everybody will try to carry along. That this is just part of running a business. Until something big happensâŠ
Surprises in IT are never a good thing. You want your IT to always be working in the background proactively identifying and addressing issues before they become actual problems.
Key Industries is a 100% New Zealand owned business with roots dating back to 1987. They are an agrichemical and pest control company whose products are used extensively by conservation groups, wildlife sanctuaries, and the NZ Department of Conservation and Regional Council Biosecurity teams.
Thirty years in business may look good on paper, but when you peek under the hood, youâd find that they share the same problems most small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in New Zealand haveâlegacy systems, outdated hardware and software, and untrained staff in terms of cyber security.
Gordon Grant, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Key Industries, shares their experience of transitioning from their previous service provider to iT360.
Traffix Limited is a New Zealand owned and operated traffic management company operating since 2002. Over the following two decades, theyâve experienced steady growth as they aim to become the preferred traffic management partner to leading utilities, construction, and event service companies across the country.

When it comes to protecting your businessâ data, it pays to be proactive. Beth Shean realised that the world changed significantly since they started. With that change came increasing security threats that, if not mitigated, can lead to bigger problems.
Beth-Shean Trust is a New Zealand-registered charitable trust set up in 1995, whose main mission is to promote hope and well-being for people affected by mental illness and emotional issues. The trust provides respite and accommodation services following the MÄori model â Te Whare Tapa Wha â which encompasses all aspects of our life from physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational.
Just like most small and medium-sized businesses in New Zealand, Beth-Sheanâs IT infrastructure and data security is put on the backburner. The day-to-day focus is mainly on their operations and caring for their guests. However, with the increasing risks of cyber security and the legislations they need to adhere to, this kind of business-as-usual approach is no longer an option. While they have not encountered any incidents or incursions as yet, it is only a matter of time until they get affected unless they assume a proactive posture.
Miriam Milson, Beth-Sheanâs Administrator and Manager, shares their journey from being completely unaware of how to tackle this big task, to having a complete roadmap of things they need to address, in order to improve their security.

With the company growing and COVID-19 virtually changing how they work, DHC needed a reliable and proactive IT service provider to guide them during these uncertain times. One that has a vision. One that could cope with the constant changes happening in the market.
We ask Eleanor Lefever, Office Manager at DHC Consulting Group, about her experience switching from their previous service provider to iT360.

Wilson Harle is a specialist litigation firm in New Zealand that offers unparalleled services to its clients. They have the depth of resources found in larger commercial law firms but with independence only available at smaller practices like theirs.

With a growing practice, Wilson Harle requires its IT to function seamlessly. That means proactive support from its IT partner to help them achieve its business goals.
iT360 recently interviewed Ruth Moxley, Office Manager at Wilson Harle and the primary person in charge of the transition to share her recent onboarding experience.

Makita New Zealand, based in Auckland, imports and distributes electric power tools. A subsidiary of Makita Corporation of Japan operating in New Zealand since 1961, Makita has established itself as a major player in the power tools market.
Growth comes with its own set of problems. Makita NZ manages a vast network of dealers covering the entire country. From a business standpoint, these dealers are Makita NZâs customers. On any given day, these customers send in 500 or more orders via email. In addition, end users â people who buy from the dealers and use the tools âcontact Makita with product inquiries as well as warranty Issues and claims. Some of these requests Makita can answer directly, but often they must be forwarded to the relevant dealer for processing.
Sam Rakei, Makitaâs Regional Sales Manager, shares how his team now handles the hundreds of emails that come In daily and how they relied on Sparkâs IT Partners network to switch platforms in Makitaâs busiest month of the year without any negative effect on its operations.
Because cyber threats evolve at breakneck speed, itâs important to continually ensure that your cyber security measures are effective and up to dateâbecause for most organisations, itâs only a matter of time before they encounter some form of cyber breach. A slow or inadequate response can hurt your companyâs reputation, as well as the bottom line.
Waterware, a leading wholesaler of plumbing components, realized that their existing IT infrastructure was no longer meeting their evolving needs and challenges. The catalyst for change culminated in a specific incident that prompted the leadership to approach multiple IT providers, seeking proactive support and reliable service.

Kennerley Retail Investments, a small business operating multiple brands like Paddock to Pantry and The Meatbox under the leadership of CEO Wayne Kennerley for over 17 years, has recently undergone a significant IT transformation. With the pandemic, Wayne recognized the need for more proactive IT support to accommodate the rising demand for technology as well as the threats that come alone with it.
Kennerley Retail Investments recognized the need for proactive IT support in the face of a rapidly changing industry and increasing cyber threats. Previously relying on iT360 for ad hoc assistance, they decided to transition to a comprehensive managed services plan. This strategic move allowed them to focus on growing their online presence while ensuring robust cyber security measures, regular data backups, and efficient IT equipment procurement. By partnering with iT360, Wayne and his team can now concentrate on providing exceptional products and services to their customers without worrying about IT-related challenges.
Previously relied on iT360 on an ad hoc basis, the growing business required additional IT help. Previously only using a handful of computers, Kennerley Retail Investments has grown over the years and now needs support for an almost endless number of devices.
Amidst his busy schedule, Wayne took the time to share his experience with us.
âJay Cee Welding Limited has been in the fabrication and welding industry for over three decades. The team consists of highly skilled professionals who provide a wide range of services, including steel fabrication, welding, and erection. Their commitment to providing exceptional quality products and services has earned them an excellent reputation in the industry.
Jay Cee Welding Limited, a prominent welding and fabrication company based in New Zealand, faced a significant IT predicament that jeopardized their day-to-day operations. Their existing IT provider abruptly terminated their services, leaving Jay Cee Welding in a difficult situation. Given the critical reliance of their business processes on IT, the company urgently sought a new managed service provider to minimize downtime and ensure seamless operations.
As with any company, Jay Cee Weldingâs operations have increasingly relied on IT systems to ensure smooth processes and timely project completion. Any disruption or downtime in their IT infrastructure could significantly impact their productivity and negatively affect the business. Thus, the sudden termination of their previous IT provider posed a significant risk to their business.
Despite the presence of numerous IT service providers in the market, Jay Cee Welding discovered iT360 through a recommendation from their existing provider. This recommendation piqued their curiosity and prompted the initial contact with iT360. Over time, it became evident why iT360 stood out from the rest. With several non-negotiables, which iT360 passed with flying colors, Jay Cee Welding was convinced that they had found their perfect partner.
Working with a small or solo IT provider is great when you're starting out. They cost less and oftentimes, are easier to work with. But as your business continues to grow, these pros suddenly become cons. What if your provider suddenly becomes unreachable and your server needs some maintenance? What if they go on vacation or is out sick and your entire email system stops working?
AR & Associates Limited is a New Zealand-owned and operated civil engineering, surveying and environmental consultancy that has been operating in Auckland since 2003. They work with both the public and private sectors providing their expertise in civil, water, wastewater, stormwater, environmental, roading, infrastructure and RMA planning.
However, as AR & Associates look towards growing their business, they faced the challenge of having an IT provider that was a solo provider. If something were to happen to their provider or suddenly become unreachable, AR & Associates would be left in a difficult position.
This pushed them into looking for an alternative IT partner who could provide them with reliable support in their journey as they continue to grow.
Sandy Sharp, Business Support Manager at AR & Associates, sat down with us recently to discuss the challenges the company was facing, the search process of finding a new IT provider, and detail the onboarding process after switching to one of iT360âs Managed Services clients.
Waterware's finance team was grappling with a significant challenge: a manual, time-consuming, and error-prone process for handling sales orders and purchase order reconciliations.

For financial advisors, mortgage brokers, and other professionals in the financial services sector, cloud technology has revolutionized the way business is conducted. It offers unparalleled convenience, enabling efficient data storage, seamless collaboration, and remote access to vital information. However, alongside these benefits comes the critical challenge of ensuring data security and maintaining compliance with regulations such as New Zealandâs Privacy Act 2020 and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) laws.
This article explores the benefits of cloud technology, the risks it presents, and practical steps financial professionals can take to strike the right balance between convenience and compliance.
Cloud-based solutions have transformed the financial services industry, offering several advantages:
Cloud platforms allow financial advisors to access client data from anywhere, enhancing mobility and flexibility. Team members can collaborate in real time, improving efficiency and client service.
Cloud solutions eliminate the need for expensive on-premise servers, cutting down hardware costs. Subscription-based models allow firms to pay only for the services they use, making it an affordable option for SMEs.
As your firm grows, cloud platforms can scale to meet your increasing data storage and operational needs, without requiring major infrastructure changes.
Cloud providers offer automated backups and disaster recovery solutions, ensuring your data is protected in the event of an outage or cyberattack.
While these benefits are significant, they must be weighed against the potential risks.
Despite its advantages, cloud technology presents certain challenges that financial professionals must address:
Cloud storage involves transferring sensitive financial data over the internet, which increases the risk of unauthorized access or leaks.
Financial firms must adhere to strict regulations regarding data storage and client confidentiality. Improper handling of cloud technology can result in non-compliance with laws such as the Privacy Act 2020 or AML/CFT requirements.
Cloud providers manage infrastructure security, but firms are responsible for securing their applications and ensuring employees follow best practices. This shared responsibility can lead to vulnerabilities if not managed effectively.
Relying on cloud vendors means entrusting sensitive data to external parties. Choosing the wrong provider could expose your firm to additional risks.
To leverage the benefits of cloud technology while safeguarding client data and adhering to regulations, financial professionals must implement the following strategies:
Select a provider that complies with New Zealandâs legal and regulatory requirements. Look for features such as:
MFA requires users to verify their identity through multiple factors, such as passwords and one-time codes. This adds an extra layer of security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.
Regularly train your staff on topics such as:
Conduct regular audits to ensure your cloud systems align with NZ regulations. Key areas to assess include:
Have a clear plan in place for responding to data breaches, including steps for notifying clients, reporting incidents to regulators, and recovering affected systems.
Encrypt all sensitive data stored in the cloud and restrict access based on roles and responsibilities. This ensures only authorized personnel can view or modify client data.
Firms that effectively balance cloud convenience with security and compliance can gain a significant competitive edge. Clients are more likely to trust businesses that demonstrate a commitment to protecting their financial data. Additionally, cloud technology enables faster service delivery and enhanced collaboration, which improves client satisfaction.
Highlight your firmâs security measures in marketing materials or client communications to reinforce your reputation for professionalism and reliability.
At iT360, weâre committed to helping your business strengthen its cyber security measures through practical solutions and advanced technology.

For financial SMEsâwhether youâre a financial advisor, mortgage broker, or accounting firmâcyber threats are no longer hypothetical. Cybercrime is an increasingly pervasive issue, targeting businesses of all sizes, with smaller enterprises particularly at risk. Despite the advanced security protocols of larger corporations, SMEs often lack the resources to implement robust defenses, making them prime targets for cybercriminals.
This article explores the financial implications of cybercrime, the causes of vulnerability, and practical steps your business can take to mitigate risks and safeguard sensitive client information.
Cybercrime refers to criminal activities carried out online, targeting systems, networks, and devices to access or exploit sensitive data. Common cyber threats include:
âą Phishing Attacks: Fraudulent emails designed to trick employees into revealing credentials.
âą Ransomware: Malware that locks data and demands payment for its release.
âą Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive client and financial information.
âą Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: Disrupting systems by overwhelming them with traffic.
For financial SMEs, these threats pose significant risks to both operations and reputation.
Cybercriminals often target smaller businesses for the following reasons:
SMEs typically lack the budget to invest in advanced security systems or dedicated IT staff, leaving their systems more vulnerable to breaches.
Financial SMEs handle sensitive client data, including banking information, tax records, and personal details, which are highly valuable in the criminal marketplace.
Many small businesses mistakenly believe they are too small to be targeted, leading to complacency in cyber security practices.
The cost of cybercrime extends far beyond the immediate damage of a breach or attack. Here are the primary financial implications for SMEs:
Recovering from an attack requires significant time and resources. Downtime disrupts operations, leading to lost productivity and revenue.
Clients entrust SMEs with sensitive information. A data breach can erode trust and drive clients to competitors, affecting long-term profitability.
Breaches often lead to legal proceedings, requiring you to allocate resources for representation and settlements.
Financial SMEs donât have to accept cyber risks as inevitable. Hereâs how your business can mitigate threats effectively:
Evaluate your current security measures to identify vulnerabilities. Key areas to review include:
An audit provides a baseline for improvement.
Adopt tools and practices that fortify your defenses, such as:
Train your staff regularly on recognizing phishing emails, avoiding suspicious links, and reporting anomalies.Â
Automate backups to secure, encrypted cloud services or offline locations. Regular backups ensure that you can recover critical information without paying a ransom.
Adopt real-time monitoring tools to detect and respond to unusual activity immediately. Early detection reduces the impact of potential attacks.
Consider outsourcing to cyber security consultants who specialize in protecting SMEs. They can offer tailored solutions, from regular audits to incident response plans.
Investing in cyber security doesnât just protect your businessâit strengthens your reputation and builds trust with clients. In an industry where client relationships are paramount, demonstrating your commitment to safeguarding sensitive information sets you apart from competitors.
Highlight your security measures in marketing materials or client conversations. For example, share your use of encryption and secure cloud solutions, emphasizing the steps you take to protect client data.
At iT360, weâre committed to helping your business strengthen its cyber security measures through practical solutions and advanced technology.

In today's fast-paced business world, mobile devices have become essential tools for employees, offering the flexibility to work from virtually anywhere. However, with this flexibility comes a host of security risks and management challenges. As businesses increasingly rely on smartphones, tablets, and laptops, itâs vital to implement a Mobile Device Management (MDM) strategy to secure, monitor, and manage these devices effectively.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) refers to a comprehensive suite of technologies that helps businesses secure, monitor, and manage the mobile devices used by employees. MDM solutions are essential for enforcing security policies, distributing applications, and protecting company data, even when employees work remotely or use their personal devices under Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. An MDM solution enables IT teams to ensure that all devices comply with company security standards, reducing the risk of data breaches and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
Enhanced Security: Mobile devices are now prime targets for cybercriminals, making security a top priority. MDM solutions enforce policies such as password protection, data encryption, and remote wipe capabilities, ensuring that even if a device is lost or stolen, sensitive company data can be securely erased, preventing unauthorized access.
Improved Compliance: Many industries are governed by strict data protection laws, and non-compliance can lead to hefty fines. MDM solutions help businesses maintain compliance by enforcing data security protocols and providing audit trails of device activity. This helps ensure that all devices meet necessary security standards and safeguards sensitive business information.
Increased Productivity: With MDM, employees can access the tools and resources they need securely, whether theyâre in the office or working remotely. MDM enhances productivity by streamlining software and app updates and ensuring that employees are always using the latest versions of essential tools, without worrying about security vulnerabilities.
Simplified Device Management: As businesses scale and the number of mobile devices increases, managing these devices can become a complex task. MDM provides a centralized platform that allows IT teams to monitor and manage all devices from one interface. This reduces the workload on IT staff, simplifies device tracking, and enables swift resolution of issues, ensuring that devices are always secure and compliant.
When selecting an MDM solution, there are several features that you should consider:
Device Enrollment and Setup: A good MDM solution simplifies the process of onboarding new devices and ensures they are set up according to company security policies, enabling seamless integration with the organizationâs systems.
Policy Enforcement: MDM solutions should allow administrators to enforce a range of security policies, including password protection, app restrictions, and data encryption. This ensures that devices meet the companyâs security requirements and reduces the likelihood of breaches.
Application Management: With MDM, IT teams can control which apps are installed on company devices, manage app updates, and even remotely remove apps that are no longer needed. This helps keep devices secure and prevents the installation of unauthorized or potentially harmful applications.
Remote Wipe and Lock: In the event of a lost or stolen device, MDM solutions allow for remote wiping of sensitive data, ensuring that company information remains secure. Remote lock features can also be activated to prevent unauthorized access to the device until itâs recovered.
Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts: MDM solutions offer real-time insights into device status, ensuring that any security risks or compliance issues are identified and addressed promptly. Alerts help IT administrators respond quickly to potential threats, minimizing downtime and exposure to security breaches.
Implementing a successful MDM strategy requires careful planning and clear communication with employees:
Establish BYOD Policies: If your organization allows employees to use their personal devices for work (BYOD), establish clear policies on acceptable usage, security requirements, and data access protocols. Make sure employees understand these guidelines and the importance of following them.
Use Role-Based Access Control: Limit access to sensitive data based on employee roles. This ensures that only those who need access to certain data or applications can obtain it, reducing the risk of unnecessary exposure.
Regularly Review and Update Policies: As security threats evolve, so should your MDM policies. Regularly update security protocols and ensure that your MDM solution is equipped to handle new threats.
Provide Employee Training: Equip employees with the knowledge to follow best practices for mobile security. Training on password management, phishing awareness, and data protection can significantly reduce the risk of security breaches.
At iT360, we understand the unique challenges that businesses face when managing mobile devices. We work closely with you to implement a customized MDM solution tailored to your organization's needs. Our team handles everything from device enrollment and policy enforcement to continuous monitoring and support, ensuring that your mobile devices are secure, compliant, and managed efficiently.
