Obtaining a security clearance

Security clearances can be required by the New Zealand Police and the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) for network operators under sections 75 and 76 of the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act.

The vetting procedure can take some time, and holding a security clearance comes with obligations.

Vetting assessments for security clearances are completed by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service. Once you are in the vetting process you should pay attention to the vetting staff instructions to make sure the process does not lapse.
