Under the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act (TICSA), the Government Communications Security Bureau (GSCB) may identify and address, prevent, mitigate, or remove network security risks which may arise. To deploy 5G network, a company must receive approval from national security assessment by GSCB. In 2020, the GSBC lifted a policy that prevented Spark from using Huawei's 5G equipment due to "a significant network security risk." New Zealand network operators such as Spark and Vodafone have partnered with Nokia rather than risking a partnership with Huawei since then.

A supplier of radio transmitting products may fill out a Supplier Declaration of Conformity (SDoC). For some high-risk products, the government may require an approval from a recognized organization or agency before they can be supplied in the country.

The export of goods in the New Zealand Strategic Goods List is prohibited unless an exporter has approval from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The goods on the list are derived from the control lists produced by the four export control regimes New Zealand belongs to - the Wassenaar Arrangement, the Australia Group, the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Missile Technology Control Regime. The Strategic Goods List includes technology as well as military and dual-use goods. The list was promulgated in 2019.

Under the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act 2008, Internet service providers (ISPs) are not liable simply because a user infringes a copyright (Section 92B). However, ISPs may possibly face liability for copyright infringement as a result of storing an infringing material if an ISP has specific knowledge of the infringement, or caching if the ISP does not immediately delete or make unavailable the infringement material upon notice (Sections 92C and 92E).
The decision by the Supreme Court of New Zealand in Ortmann, van der Kolk, Batato, Dotcom v. USA and Anor (2020) NZSC 120 extends civil liability into criminal penalty against ISPs. The decision ruled that Section 131 of the Copyright Act, which sets out criminal offenses in relation to copyright works, encompasses online dissemination of digital copies. As a result, it has been opined that Internet service providers are now potentially exposed to criminal sanctions in carrying out their day-to-day activities. New Zealand Law Society states that "ISPs in New Zealand, and overseas ISPs providing services to New Zealanders, will obviously be concerned as to the extent of their own potential criminal liability in this country for users infringing copyright online. It is not unrealistic to imagine this could have an impact on availability of online services for New Zealanders."
An "ISP" under the Copyright Act means an entity which (a) offers the transmission, routing, or providing of connections for digital online communications, between or among points specified by a user, of material of the user’s choosing, or (b) hosts material on websites or other electronic retrieval systems that can be accessed by a user (Section 4).
