The International Maritime Cyber Security Organisation has released a cyber security testing methodology for maritime vessels looking to assess their risk and join its Cyber Risk Registry.
The standards organisation’s methodology aims to provide IMCSO-accredited cyber consultants and the senior maritime personnel they will be assessing with standardised testing by outlining test scope and the language to be used to ensure tests are planned, executed and reported effectively.
“Currently there is no standard in the maritime sector for governing the quality of cyber risk assessments,” said Campbell Murray, CEO at the IMCSO. “This methodology will set a precedent by providing a set of criteria that assessors must observe when on engagement and against which maritime security can be measured. It is a very big step forward in normalising both expectations and requirements in the maritime space.”
