700Credit breach: NZ firms at risk

Big breach hit 5.8M people. NZ firms need to act now.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Data leaks grow fast. Kiwis lose control of their info.
NZ laws say you must keep data safe. Break rules = get fined.

Joe’s Cafe lost 300 customer names. Hackers got all of them.
No backup. No plan. No help.

What This Means

Hackers find weak spots. Then they steal data.
Your clients trust you. Lose that trust = lose sales.

Like a broken door. Thieves walk in. No one sees them.
You need locks. You need eyes. You need action.

Key Point: Kiwis care about safe data. Firms must show they care too.

Why Kiwis Should Care

NZ laws get strict. Fines get higher.
IRD numbers are sacred. You must keep them safe.

Auckland shops face big fines. Same for Wellington bars.
Hackers hit NZ too. No place is safe.

The Fix

Start with strong passwords. Use two-factor checks.
Use cloud storage. Keep data safe there.

You don’t need big tech. Just use smart steps.
Cost less. Work better. Get done fast.

What To Do Now
