Full-scope vulnerability assessment and penetration testing covering IT crew networks, OT navigation systems, ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, and engine control systems. Aligned to IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 and IACS UR E26/E27.
Maritime / Maritime VAPT (IT & OT Networks)
Maritime VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) for IT and OT networks is a comprehensive security evaluation of all networked systems onboard a vessel. IT networks include crew management systems, administrative computers, satellite communication systems, and internet-connected devices. OT networks include ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, radar, propulsion control, engine management, and ballast water systems. A maritime VAPT simulates real-world attacks against both IT and OT domains, identifies vulnerabilities, tests network segmentation between IT and OT, and provides actionable remediation guidance aligned to IMO and IACS UR E26/E27 standards.
We are available 24/7 to help secure your maritime operations.
• Full IT/OT Coverage: Tests both crew IT networks and safety-critical OT systems including ECDIS, AIS, propulsion and engine control in a single engagement.
• IMO Alignment: Findings mapped to IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 and IACS UR E26/E27 requirements for compliance reporting.
• Network Segmentation Testing: Validates that IT and OT networks are properly isolated to prevent lateral movement between domains.
• Actionable Reports: Detailed reports with severity ratings, risk context, and step-by-step remediation guidance for technical and management teams.
• Regulatory Evidence: Provides documented evidence of cyber risk management for class society audits and port state control inspections.
Our maritime VAPT covers crew IT networks, satellite communications, ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, radar systems, engine management, propulsion control, ballast water management, and any other networked systems onboard.
Depending on vessel complexity, a full IT/OT VAPT typically takes 5 to 10 days including both onboard assessment and remote network testing.
Ideally yes for onboard access to OT systems, though remote IT network testing can be conducted while the vessel is at sea via secure VPN access.
Maritime VAPT specifically includes OT systems, operational technology protocols (NMEA, Modbus, DNP3), maritime-specific applications, and is conducted under safety constraints to avoid disrupting live navigation or propulsion systems.
