Wellington, New Zealand – 3 March 2026 – SecuritEase International and SecurityHQ today announced a strategic partnership that will see SecurityHQ provide SecuritEase International with comprehensive, expert, globally managed security services.

SecurityHQ, a global Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) celebrates SecuritEase International becoming its first customer in New Zealand. The engagement reflects SecurityHQ’s continued expansion in the Asia-Pacific region and the growing demand for advanced threat detection and response capabilities world-wide.

SecuritEase has implemented SecurityHQ’s Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service to improve threat visibility, to strengthen incident response, and thereby increase its cybersecurity resilience. The services provide continuous monitoring, threat detection, and expert-led incident response, enabling SecuritEase to defend against evolving cybersecurity threats and maintain the integrity of its capital markets technology development platforms.

SecurityHQ was selected for the quality and comprehensiveness of its service offering, its ability to integrate with SecuritEase’ global hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure, its rapid onboarding process, and its ability to provide continuous protection through its global Security Operations Centre expertise.

SecurityHQ’s MDR and VMaaS services combine analytics, threat intelligence, and global SOC capabilities to detect and respond to threats in real time. This approach helps organisations reduce risk, improve response times, and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.

Bill Tonkin, SecuritEase Founder and Group Managing Director, said:
“Strong cybersecurity protection is a cornerstone building block needed to maintain the high level of trust our finance industry customers place in us. As SecuritEase expands its global footprint, it needs a global security partner that can deliver the highest level of protection around the clock. After an extensive review, we concluded that SecurityHQ is that partner.”

Feras Tappuni, CEO of SecurityHQ, said:
“We are pleased to welcome SecuritEase as our first customer in New Zealand. As organisations across the region navigate an increasingly complex threat environment, it is essential to have the right MSSP in place with the capability and reach to detect and respond to emerging threats. This engagement represents an important step in our expansion across the Asia-Pacific region and reinforces our commitment to delivering services that enable organisations to operate securely and with confidence.”

Cyber threats continue to increase in scale and sophistication, particularly for organisations operating critical financial and market infrastructure. By deploying SecurityHQ’s MDR service, SecuritEase strengthens its security posture and supports the protection of its systems, clients, and development operations.
