Cybersecurity Regulations: Navigating New Waters
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has introduced Unified Requirements E26 and E27, effective from July 1, 2024, for newly contracted classed ships and offshore installations. These URs complement the existing IMO MSC.428(98) resolution, offering an expanded framework that covers:
- Cyber Risk Assessment and Management
- On-Board and Offshore Installation Cybersecurity Controls
- Third-Party Equipment and System Requirements
- Personnel Training and Cybersecurity Awareness
At RDS, we're not just compliant; we're ahead of the curve.
Our cybersecurity solutions are meticulously crafted to satisfy both IMO and IACS mandates, ensuring your vessel is not just secure but fully compliant.
Technology & People:
Navigating the Intersection of Innovation and Behavior
While regulatory rigor and technological advancements are keystones of marine safety, the human factor cannot be overlooked. It's often the design of systems and technology tailored for human operators that serves as a pivotal point in preventing maritime incidents. For this reason, we advocate for behavior-based safety as a transformative approach to enhancing vessel safety.
At RDS, we integrate state-of-the-art technology with a strong ethical compass. Our commitment extends beyond just safeguarding your vessel; we also adhere to ethical standards in onboarding your specialists.
