In 2017 the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted Resolution MSC.428(98), which requires that a ship’s Safety Management System (SMS) should take into account cyber risk management in accordance with the objectives and requirements of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code. The ISM Code requires internal audits at least every 12 months plus an annual endorsement of the Document of Compliance.
Maintaining compliance with the ISM Code requires knowledge and awareness of both shore and ship based cyber related issues. Maritime cyber security is a rapidly changing landscape where no two shipping companies are identical and the wide range of conditions in which vessels operate are equally unique. To help you maintain the cyber elements of a ship’s SMS and ensure continuing compliance with the ISM Code you need a trusted expert partner who understands your business. A partner with a deep understanding of maritime operations at sea and onshore and with extensive cyber security know-how.
Cybertechnologies have become essential to the operation and management of numerous systems critical to the safety and security of shipping and protection of the marine environment.
