Protecting a free, open
and democratic society.

New Zealand Intelligence Community

We exist to protect New Zealand as a free, open, and democratic society.

We form the core national intelligence, assessment and protective security functions within the New Zealand Intelligence Community (NZIC).

The intelligence-based insights and advice provided by the NZIC contribute to decisions that sustain and enhance New Zealand’s security and wellbeing.
