IMO Cyber Compliance

What is Maritime
IMO Cyber Compliance?

Cyber risk within the maritime sector has been recognised by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Maritime Cyber Risk Management requirement as part of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.

The compliancy initiative, being introduced in January 2021, is designed to make the industry more resilient to cyber criminality, IMO cyber compliance requires that a Cyber Risk Management program should be implemented no later than the first verification of the owning Company’s Document of Compliance after 1st January 2021.

CSS Platinum have worked with the Flag Registries to help them design the assessment criteria for the implementation of Maritime Cyber Risk Management programs.
