About us.
The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) and the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) work at the heart of New Zealand’s national security effort.
Both agencies exist to protect New Zealand as a free, open and democratic society, and provide policy makers with the intelligence they need to make well-informed decisions.
