Vessel Cyber Risk Assessment

What is a Vessel Cyber Risk Assessment?

A Vessel Cyber Risk Assessment is a structured evaluation of a ship's overall cybersecurity posture, designed to identify, analyse, and prioritise cyber risks across all systems and processes. Unlike a technical VAPT which focuses on technical vulnerabilities, a cyber risk assessment takes a broader view encompassing IT and OT system inventories, network architecture review, policy and procedure assessment, crew cyber awareness levels, shore-to-vessel connectivity risks, third-party and vendor access risks, and physical security of cyber assets. The assessment produces a risk register mapped to IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 functional elements (Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) and provides a prioritised remediation roadmap. It is typically the recommended starting point for vessels beginning their cyber compliance journey.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vessel Cyber Risk Assessment

A cyber risk assessment is a broad evaluation of all cyber risks including people, processes, policies, and technology. A VAPT is a deep technical test of specific IT and OT systems for exploitable vulnerabilities. Both are complementary and we recommend starting with a risk assessment.

IMO recommends that cyber risk assessments be reviewed annually as part of the SMS audit cycle and after any significant change to vessel systems, operations, or connectivity arrangements.

The assessment produces a risk register, gap analysis report mapped to IMO functional elements, executive summary for senior management, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.

Initial documentation review and policy assessment can be conducted remotely. A vessel visit is recommended for full system inventory and physical security assessment, typically during a port call.
