Important warning: Director recruitment scams

New Zealand directors are being targeted by increasingly sophisticated recruitment scams. If approached about a board opportunity, always verify the recruiter and the legitimacy of the role before sharing personal information. The IoD will never ask you to apply through an undisclosed third party claiming to act on our behalf. If in doubt, please contact us directly.

The reliance on online technology and many more people working from home since 2020 has increased the risk of data privacy breaches, fraud and cyber attacks. Cyber resilience means being prepared for a cyber attack, being able to keep a business operating, and able to quickly respond to and recover from an attack. Boards need to:

  • manage the risks strategically
  • use a recognised cyber security framework
  • ensure a strong cyber security culture
  • consider how their organisations might work together with their partners and supply chains.

We’ve compiled a list of cybersecurity resources relevant to board members in New Zealand.
