Structured per-vessel cyber risk assessment aligned with IMO Resolution MSC.428(98), IACS UR E26 / E27 and BIMCO Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships. Codesecure delivers a documented risk register, treatment plan and SMS-ready evidence with named maritime cyber consultants.
A vessel cyber risk assessment is a structured analysis that identifies cyber threats relevant to a specific vessel, the vulnerabilities present in its IT and OT estate, the impact of compromise on safety, security, environment and operations, and the resulting risk after considering existing controls. It produces a documented risk register, treatment plan and evidence pack that integrates into the vessel Safety Management System.
Codesecure delivers vessel risk assessments aligned with the IMO Guidelines on Maritime Cyber Risk Management (MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 Rev.2), BIMCO Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships, IACS UR E26 / E27, and class-society audit programmes. Our consultants combine maritime field experience with cyber risk methodology to produce assessments that are technically credible and operationally usable.
IMO MSC.428(98) explicitly requires cyber risk to be addressed in vessel SMS, which in practice means a documented risk assessment per vessel. Without an assessment, class-society auditors, Port State Control inspectors, charterer vetters and insurance underwriters cannot verify due diligence. A structured assessment is the single most-asked-for cyber artefact in maritime audits.
A good risk assessment is also genuinely useful. Indian shipping operators, fleet managers and crew managers gain a clear, prioritised view of where to invest, what controls actually matter for their specific vessel type and trade, and how to communicate cyber risk to non-IT leadership. The assessment becomes the basis for budgeting, drills, training, vendor management and incident-response readiness.

Scoping call, NDA, vessel type and trade profile, current SMS review, class-society and charterer requirements.
On-board or remote survey, IT and OT asset inventory, vessel architecture review, vendor documentation review.
Threat modelling, vulnerability identification, impact analysis, existing control review, residual-risk calculation.
Prioritised treatment actions, SMS integration of procedures, drill and exercise plan.
Class-society cyber audit accompaniment with named consultant. Annual risk re-assessment.
Every Vessel Risk Assessment engagement ships with the same operational handoff:
Most vessel risk assessments complete within 3-4 weeks per vessel. Instant response, no delay, kickoff scheduled same or next business day after scoping.
Scoping, NDA, vessel survey, asset inventory, vendor documentation review.
Threat modelling, vulnerability identification, impact analysis, control review.
Treatment plan, SMS integration, class-society-aligned report, audit-readiness review.

30-minute call with our maritime risk lead. Discuss your vessel type, trade route and class-society timelines with no sales pressure.
Schedule Free CallYes, fleet-level assessments are not a substitute. Vessel architecture, trade route, charterer, crew mix and OT estate differ enough between vessels that an aggregated assessment misses real risks. Sister-ship assessments reuse significant work but still need per-vessel customisation. Our fleet pricing reflects this reuse.
Pricing varies by vessel type, OT estate complexity, fleet size and on-board vs remote split. We provide a fixed-fee scoped proposal within 24-48 hours of scoping. Fleet-wide engagements scale down per-vessel across sister ships.
Hybrid is standard. The survey phase ideally includes an on-board component to capture asset reality, OT environment and crew workflow. Where on-board visit is not possible immediately, we run remote-only survey using master / ETO interviews, vendor documentation and remote network capture, with on-board phase added at the next port call.
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-fee scoped proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start scoping same or next business day after sign-off.
Yes. Reports are aligned to IMO MSC.428(98), IMO Guidelines MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 Rev.2, BIMCO Cyber Guidelines and IACS UR E26 / E27. They are accepted by IRS, DNV, BV, LR, ABS and major Flag administrations for SMS verification.
We integrate cyber risk procedures into your existing SMS under ISM Code clauses (typically clauses 1.2, 1.4, 7, 8, 9 and 10). DPA, master, chief engineer and ETO cyber responsibilities are documented. Drills and exercises are integrated with existing safety drill schedules to reduce operational burden.
Yes. Risk register, treatment plan, SMS integration and drill records are mapped to TMSA 3 Element 13 KPIs and directly usable in TMSA self-assessment submissions. We also map to OCIMF expectations for tanker operations where relevant.
