Protective Security Requirements
The purpose of the New Zealand Protective Security Requirements (PSR) is to help New
Zealand agencies:
take appropriate measures to protect their people,
information and assets domestically and overseas
identify their individual levels of security risk tolerance
achieve the mandatory requirements for protective
security expected by government
develop an appropriate security culture to securely and
effectively meet their business goals

PSR Understood
What it says:
1.
take appropriate measures to protect their people, information and assets, domestically and overseas
2.
identify their individual levels of security risk tolerance
3.
achieve the mandatory requirements for protective security expected by government
4.
develop an appropriate security culture to securely and effectively meet their business goals.
What that means:
1.
The PSR sets minimum standards which can be tailored and enhanced to meet the agency risk
environment and is designed to enable flexible implementation.
2.
There is not a one size fits all solution to protective security but it is designed around risk
management principles
3.
Agencies need to demonstrate that they have taken steps to meet the 29 Mandatory Requirements, in
a way that is appropriate to their business and proportionate to their threats and risks… there is no
template solution
4.
Unless there is an agency culture that supports and embraces security then the PSR becomes a
compliance process and not a business enabler
