Cybersecurity is a discipline.

We help you build that discipline into everyday operations - clear governance, proven controls, and continuous improvement
so you can make confident decisions and stay resilient
when it matters most.

Our Approach

built around the questions you actually ask...

We help you make cyber risk measurable, prove what will hold under real pressure, and turn security into disciplined decisions you can prioritise, fund, and run.

Real Questions
How bad could it get?

Define and quantify your worst-case scenarios, then build a plan that reduces likelihood and limits impact.

Will our controls actually stop anything?

Test what works in practice, expose gaps, and tighten the architecture without over-engineering.

Who decides what when it goes wrong?

Clarify accountability across people, process, and suppliers - then run rehearsals so decisions stay steady under pressure.

Can we say yes without gambling?

Make security part of delivery with lightweight guardrails for cloud, transformation, and product change.

How do we know we’re improving?

Create risk-based measures and executive reporting that you can fund and track.

Who provides CISO-level leadership when we don’t have one?

Provide consistent leadership, challenge, and momentum without needing a full time CISO.

who we are

CyberSeeker

Founded in 2023 with a clear conviction: that cybersecurity in New Zealand deserved better than checkbox compliance and one-size-fits-all consulting.

We are a dedicated cybersecurity consultancy helping organisations across New Zealand build genuine security discipline - the kind that holds up under real pressure, not just under audit conditions. We work alongside your team to close the gap between what's documented and what's actually working.

Founded by Francois Marais, with over 22 years of information security experience across New Zealand and internationally. Recognised as a finalist for Start-up or New Business of the Year at the 2024 iSANZ Awards.

  • Confidence, built on truth

    We replace uncertainty with an honest view of risk and a path forward you can choose and sustain.
  • Discipline that sticks

    No theatre, no overwhelm. Just the controls and routines that stay reliable when the pressure is on.
  • Integrity, always

    We’re independent and candid. We recommend what serves the outcome, not what sells the most.
  • Clarity that drives action

    We identify what could hurt you most, keep watch on it, and make control effectiveness visible - so improvement is continuous, not occasional.
Our Platform

Tenarie

Built for our clients and the wider cybersecurity community, Tenarie brings risk, controls, and assurance into one solution - so security becomes measurable, repeatable, and
easier to run.

Technology Partners

We partner with technology providers we trust - and we stay independent in how we advise you. If a tool won’t improve control effectiveness or resilience, we won’t recommend it. Our role is to help you choose wisely, implement cleanly, and prove value through outcomes.
