Maritime Cyber Risk Self-Assessment Tool

A maritime cyber risk self-assessment tool is a questionnaire-driven instrument that lets a shipping company gauge its cyber maturity against a recognized framework and produce a prioritized gap list. BIMCO publishes one tied to the multi-association Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships, mapping responses to the identify-protect-detect-respond-recover functions of MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3. It supports the duty under IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) to manage cyber risk inside the ISM safety management system, but it is a self-scoring aid, not an audited certification.
