Three NZIC research reports, including copies of any resulting recommendations:

And one other NZIC document:

Good afternoon Scott
We refer to your official information request dated 9 April 2021 as outlined below. The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 23 June 2021.
This extension is necessary because, the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact [NZSIS request email].
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Kind regards
NZSIS & GCSB
