Protective Security Requirements – roles and responsibilities

Government employees play an important role in helping their agency maintain personnel, physical and information security.

The Protective Security Requirements (PSR) outlines the Government’s expectations for managing personnel, physical and information security. It clearly sets out what agencies must and should consider to ensure they are managing protective security effectively.

By observing your agency’s security policies, you will:

• assure continuity of service delivery
• assure the Government and the public you have appropriate, effective measures in place to protect New Zealand’s people, information and assets.

The PSR provides agencies with:

• core policy documents that describe the high-level mandatory requirements that agencies are required to implement and report against
• protocols and management requirements that provide direction on how to meet the mandatory requirements.
