We are thrilled to announce that Blacklock Security has been officially approved as a supplier in the Government Pae Hokohoko / Marketplace under the Source Code, Application Review, and Technical Testing category.

This milestone underscores our commitment to strengthening cybersecurity across New Zealand’s government agencies by providing on-demand penetration testing and continuous vulnerability scanning services. In an era where cyber threats are evolving rapidly, proactive defense strategies are no longer optional—they are essential!

Proactive Security for a Growing Threat Landscape

The attack surface for government agencies is expanding as digital transformation accelerates. Traditional security testing—conducted as one-off, lengthy, expensive—is no longer sufficient. Continuous testing, monitoring and real-time detection of vulnerabilities are critical to preventing breaches before they happen.

At Blacklock Security, we provide:

-On-demand Penetration Testing as a Service with our award-winning platform

-Automated vulnerability scanning for web applications, APIs and infrastructure (DAST)

-Static code analysis (SAST) to detect code smells, bugs and vulnerabilities in the source code

-SoftwareBill of Materials (SBOM) scanning to detect out of date software packages, libraries and affected vulnerabilities. This helps businesses to mitigate the supply chain risks

By combining automation with expert-led security assessments, we help organisations stay ahead of attackers and ensure compliance with evolving security standards.

Seamless Integration with CI/CD Pipelines

Modern software development relies on agile methodologies and continuous deployment. Our platform integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, including:

-Azure DevOps

-Bitbucket

-GitHub

-GitLab

-Zapier Webhooks

This ensures that security vulnerability scanning occurs before and after release, which embeds security testing into the development lifecycle. By proactively identifying vulnerabilities at every stage, organisations reduce risk, enhance security posture, and accelerate secure software delivery.

Delivering Value to NZ Government Agencies

By continuously monitoring web applications, infrastructure, APIs and source code, government agencies can:

-Improve cyber resilience & orchestrate vulnerability to make informed decisions – reducing exposure to critical security threats from a single dashboard

-Meet legal compliance – aligning with government security frameworks, cyber insurance and best practices

-Streamline security operations – automating vulnerability detection, integrating with your existing systems and retesting vulnerabilities with a click

-Enhance decision-making – leveraging actionable insights for risk management

This real-time, integrated approach to security empowers government IT leaders to proactively defend against cyberthreats while optimising efficiency and resources.

Looking Ahead

This achievement is more than just a milestone for us — it is an opportunity to actively contribute to the security and resilience of New Zealand’s digital infrastructure. We look forward to collaborating with government teams, enhancing their cyber security strategies, and helping them navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape.

At Blacklock Security, our mission is to provide world-class cybersecurity solutions that enable organisations to build, deploy, operate and maintain digital assets securely. Our approval as a vendor in the NZ Government Marketplace strengthens this commitment.

We look forward to supporting the NZ Government in securing its digital future.
