NZ Police Digital Platform

Project Overview

The New Zealand Police required a robust digital platform to serve both public-facing needs and internal operations. We developed a comprehensive Drupal solution that handles complex webform management and powers their secure intranet system.

Challenges

The project presented several significant challenges:

• Strict security requirements for handling sensitive information
• Complex form workflows with conditional logic and multi-step processes
• High traffic volumes requiring excellent performance
• Integration with existing government systems
• Compliance with government accessibility standards

Solution

We delivered a tailored Drupal platform with:

System Architecture

We designed a scalable architecture that:

• Implements a multi-layer security approach
• Separates public and internal content with appropriate access controls
• Utilizes containerization for deployment flexibility
• Incorporates redundancy and failover systems

Webform Management

The webform system includes:

• Custom validation and conditional logic
• Multi-step form processes with save and resume functionality
• Automated PDF generation and secure storage
• Workflow management for form processing
• Integration with internal case management systems

Security Implementation

Security was paramount, so we implemented:

• Advanced authentication mechanisms
• Data encryption at rest and in transit
• Comprehensive audit logging
• Regular security scanning and testing
• Role-based access control with fine-grained permissions

Results

The platform has successfully:

• Processed over 100,000 form submissions securely
• Reduced paper-based processes by 75%
• Improved internal communication and information sharing
• Maintained 99.9% uptime even during high-traffic events
• Passed multiple security audits with no critical findings

The NZ Police continue to expand the platform's capabilities, with ongoing support and development to meet evolving needs in law enforcement technology.
