Operational reality

What breaks without governance records.

OPC breach notification guidance ↗
Ownership disappears. A policy assigned to a staff member who left has no active owner. The obligation remains.
Evidence fragments. Capability records without individual certification cannot be reported to a board accurately.
Reporting weakens. A board cannot govern what has not been measured. Posture requires records, not recollections.
Timelines collapse. Organisations without documented processes routinely fail to meet the OPC notification expectation from first awareness. Source: OPC breach notification guidance.

The platform

Four tools. One governance record.

Each tool operates independently and updates the central governance record in real time. No sequential setup. No dependency on another tool being completed first.

BreachReady NZ

Incident response

A 6-step triage workflow that applies sections 112 to 117 of the Privacy Act 2020 to the specific circumstances of an incident. Notifiability is assessed automatically. Six documents are generated on completion.

Timestamped from first awareness. The 72-hour OPC notification window starts at step one.
Generates an incident record, notifiability assessment, audit trail, OPC notification record, and board report.
PolicyLayer

Privacy documents

A 6-step intake wizard that generates a complete, plain-English privacy policy specific to the organisation. Industry, jurisdiction, data types, and third-party tools are all factored in. The output is ready to publish.

Covers the Privacy Act 2020 and IPP 3A in force 1 May 2026. Alerts sent when legislation changes.
Generates four documents: Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, Cookie Policy, and Disclaimer. All are downloadable and version-controlled.
AiReady NZ

Workforce training

12 structured modules covering AI governance, the Privacy Act 2020, and NZ-specific obligations. Each module includes assessment. Completion is recorded individually and reported at board level.

Approximately 4 hours total. Modules are completed at the staff member's own pace.
A certificate of completion is issued to each staff member on finishing all 12 modules.
Covers the Privacy Act 2020 and the NZ Government AI Strategy (July 2025).
Board and Governance

Governance reporting

A live dashboard that draws from all three tools. Governance posture, workforce readiness, policy status, and incident history in one place. Board-ready exports available at any point without manual preparation.

Updates in real time as incidents are triaged, modules are completed, and policies are generated.
A board report is generated automatically at the close of every BreachReady NZ incident.
Provides documented evidence of governance posture if the Office of the Privacy Commissioner investigates.
