• NZ_ISM_Restricted_v3_5.json is a specific versioned initiative aligned to the New Zealand ISM v3.5 Restricted baseline, meaning it enforces controls scoped to that release of the ISM.
• nz_ism.json is the general initiative for NZ ISM compliance, not tied to a particular version number, it is the broader baseline that Microsoft maintains for NZ ISM alignment.
• The latest ISM version is 3.6, and Microsoft has announced ongoing updates to Azure Policy initiatives for NZ ISM. Expect a future update to include v3.6, though the GitHub repo may lag slightly behind the official ISM publication.
