Working at Axenic
What makes Axenic special
Founded in 2009, the Axenic idea was simple: provide high-quality information security and privacy advice to help and support our clients to achieve their business goals and objectives.
Using recognised frameworks, standards and methodologies to deliver consistent, repeatable, traceable and defendable advice – rather than unspecified ‘best practice’ or unsupported opinions.
Delivered by experts with extensive real world experience across both the public and private sectors.
Our dedication to delivering quality advice – that is free from influence – is shown in the results we deliver.
But what really makes us special? Our people.......
He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!
We are proud to be a New Zealand company, bringing together a collection of talent from across the world.
Our leadership team are committed to making Axenic a great place to work and to ensuring each of our team gets what they need to be a great consultant.
