The Threat Landscape

Your Ship's Biggest Vulnerability
Might Not Be the Weather

Cyber incidents in the maritime sector are rising sharply — targeting navigation systems, cargo management platforms, crew communication tools, and port operations. In 2026, with geopolitical tensions elevated, the risk has never been more real.

For vessels contracted after July 2024, IACS Unified Requirements E26 and E27 are mandatory class requirements — not recommendations. Non-compliant vessels face class suspension.

SGMA's cybersecurity team combines deep maritime operational knowledge with IT security expertise — meaning we audit the systems that actually run your ship.

Audit Services

🔒 IACS E26 & E27 Compliance Audit

Mandatory for vessels contracted after 1 July 2024. Current state assessment against E26 (cyber resilience of ships) and E27 (cyber resilience of onboard systems). Gap analysis and remediation roadmap accepted by all major classification societies.

📋 IMO Cyber Risk Management (ISM)

Integration of cyber risk management into your Safety Management System as required by IMO MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3. Review of ISM documentation and updated procedures for flag state compliance.

🛡️ NIST CSF Assessment

Six-function framework assessment (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) applied to maritime operations — for company-level cyber governance and board reporting.

🏆 ISO 27001 Alignment

For ship management companies and maritime service providers seeking ISO 27001 certification. Gap assessment against the international standard.

🗺️ Gap Analysis & Remediation Roadmap

Practical, prioritised roadmap with cost estimates and timeline — actionable findings, not just a list of problems.

👥 Crew Cyber Hygiene Training

Tailored awareness training for officers and ratings — phishing, social engineering, safe USB use, password hygiene, and incident reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

IACS Unified Requirements E26 and E27 are mandatory cybersecurity standards for vessels contracted after 1 July 2024. E26 covers cyber resilience of ships; E27 covers cyber resilience of onboard systems and equipment. Non-compliance means vessels may not receive class approval.
Yes. IMO's Maritime Cyber Risk Management guidelines (MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3) require that cyber risks be incorporated into Safety Management Systems (ISM Code) by 1 January 2021. This is a flag state requirement for all SOLAS vessels.
A vessel-level IACS E26/E27 gap assessment typically takes 1-2 days onboard. A company-level NIST CSF or ISO 27001 assessment typically takes 3-5 days depending on organisational size.
IACS E26/E27 are mandatory class requirements specifically for vessel systems. NIST CSF is a voluntary framework for company-level cybersecurity governance. Many operators use NIST CSF for their overall programme while ensuring vessels comply with mandatory IACS requirements.

Is Your Fleet Cyber Resilient?

IACS E26/E27 is mandatory. IMO compliance is required. Let's assess your current state and build a clear, practical path forward.
