Bastion listed on NZ's All of Government Marketplace for managed security services

Bastion Security Group has become the first cybersecurity provider listed on New Zealand's All of Government Marketplace (Pae Hokohoko) for Managed Security Services, giving government agencies a pre-approved route to eight of the company's security offerings.

The marketplace opened in March 2026 to give agencies a faster path to approved managed security suppliers. It is managed by the Government Digital Delivery Agency (GDDA) within the Public Service Commission.

As at 4 November, Bastion was the only provider approved for Managed Security Services on the marketplace.

The eight services now available through the marketplace are: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Security Operations Centre and Managed Detection and Response (SOC/MDR), Secure Email Filtering, Remote Access, Threat Feeds, Proxy, and Managed Security Professional Services.

Bastion said every analyst in its SOC is based in New Zealand or Australia, with more than 40 dedicated analysts working around the clock.

"Government agencies need access to specialist cyber security expertise, backed by people who understand their environment and can respond when it matters," said Eugene Gibney, chief executive at Bastion Security Group.

"This listing makes it easier for agencies to engage that support through Bastion, with local expertise and round-the-clock monitoring."

Bastion said it has also submitted two further services - Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) - which will become available once approved by GDDA.

The company said it currently protects organisations across central and local government, energy and utilities, health, finance and legal services in New Zealand and Australia. Existing customers keep the same team, the same service levels and the same contacts, while agency customers gain an additional, simpler way to extend or renew their services.

"We've built long-standing relationships with government agencies by understanding their systems, their priorities and the pressures their teams face," Gibney said.

"We're committed to helping more agencies strengthen the security of the public services New Zealanders rely on."
