Protect your website

Your website is important to your business. It contains business and customer information that’s valuable to cyber attackers. This is particularly true if your website is an online store.

CERT NZ and Consumer Protection joined forces in 2020 for a new campaign to raise awareness among businesses and consumers about keeping safe and secure when transacting online, and the steps they can take to do that. 

CERT NZ's campaign encourages businesses to Trade Smart Online and offers practical steps to help keep their websites safe and secure.
