Codesecure Solutions provides specialized maritime VAPT services in Chennai, India, conducting comprehensive vulnerability assessment and penetration testing across vessel IT networks, OT systems, navigation infrastructure, and shore-to-ship communication links. Modern vessels operate complex networks of interconnected systems including ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, propulsion controls, engine management, ballast water systems, and crew IT networks. Each of these presents unique attack surfaces that require maritime-specific testing methodologies.
Our maritime VAPT covers both IT networks including crew management systems, administrative computers, and satellite communications, and OT networks including safety-critical navigation and propulsion systems. We apply non-intrusive passive assessment techniques for live OT systems and active penetration testing for IT infrastructure, producing actionable reports aligned to IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3, IACS UR E26/E27, BIMCO guidelines, and NIST Cybersecurity Framework requirements.
A structured approach designed for the maritime environment
Define the vessel systems, network segments, and communication links within scope, agree on testing windows that minimise operational impact, and document safety constraints for OT testing.
Passive network discovery and traffic analysis to identify all networked systems, protocols in use, and network architecture without sending active probes to safety-critical OT systems.
Automated and manual vulnerability assessment of IT systems and passive assessment of OT systems, identifying misconfigurations, weak credentials, unpatched firmware, and insecure protocols.
Controlled exploitation of IT vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world attack paths, lateral movement between systems, and potential impact on vessel operations and safety.
Detailed report with risk ratings, attack path documentation, IMO compliance mapping, and prioritised remediation recommendations aligned to vessel operational constraints.
