The word Plural embodies this belief.
We are a community minded cyber security specialist, with our core strength rooted in the concept of "plural. "This term embodies the diversity and breadth of our team's expertise and how we work with our clients.
The unity we infuse into our engagements transforms us into more than just a supplier. We're a collective of cyber security experts, committed to learning from and with our clients. We know we don't have all the answers, and therefore firmly believe in the power of collective thinking and solving problems as a community, determined to make New Zealand a safer and more resilient country.
Our values
Our ways of working are guided by some good old fashioned values instilled into us: Ownership, Urgency, and Communication.
Simple, yet these principles direct every aspect of our operations, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of those we serve.
We take Ownership
Taking ownership is about driving execution and not assuming that it will get done by someone else.
We don't wait for others to deliver it. We take
initiative, even with imperfect information, and do our best to execute to the highest possible level.
Communication at our heart
Operate with honesty, transparency, and open communication. Authentic and straight up.
Through collaboration and bringing the teamwork mentality to our everyday language, we see the value shift from the individual hero to the team as a whole.
Operate with a sense of Urgency
The only guarantee at any time, or anywhere in business, is change. To have a sense of urgency is to act promptly and with intention and purpose to make things happen.
A sense of urgency means we are proactive, constantly looking at the present, deciding what actions to take today to ensure the future that we envisage.
Our Commitment to
Community.
We understand that the cyber security landscape is constantly evolving and is fraught with complexity.
To navigate this landscape, we believe in nurturing a sense of community among our team, clients, partners, and ecosystem who are passionate about securing the digital world that we co exist, co play, and co work in.
Our commitment to community extends beyond our team, reaching out to clients and partners who entrust us with their cybersecurity needs. Together, we create a network of collaboration and shared knowledge.
That commitment isn't just an idea we talk about. It's a programme we run.
We call it Connective.
Connective, Our
Community Programme
Connective is the home of everything we do beyond client work. It's our community driven programme, built on the belief that cyber security is a team sport, and that a more resilient New Zealand comesfrom sharing knowledge, lifting capability, and creating space for the people behind the practice.
Through Connective, we bring together clients, partners, practitioners, and the wider cyber community to learn from each other, talk openly about the challenges we're facing, and contribute to a stronger collective defence.
Why we invest in it
It's how we live our values, externally.
Ownership of the wider problem. Urgency in lifting the community.
And open, honest communication with the people we share this industry with.
What Connective involves
- Practitioner roundtables and peer led discussions
- Knowledge sharing on emerging threats, tooling, and practices
- Threat briefings and advisory updates, including our Plural Perspectives series
- Mentoring and pathways for those entering the industry
- Community events and meet ups
- Open collaboration with partners across the New Zealand cyber ecosystem
