Ship Cyber Exposure, Remote Access & OT Risk Tool

Screen the cyber exposure of a connected vessel from ship-to-shore connectivity through remote access and onboard OT. Simple mode produces an exposure score, attack-path view and priority actions from 12 controls. Advanced mode adds a critical-system register, asset-by-asset likelihood/impact scoring, IMO/NIST functional maturity, remote-access blast-radius analysis, recovery readiness and a ranked remediation plan.

Critical IT / OT System Register

Score the systems that matter to safe ship operation. Risk is driven by criticality, safety/operational impact, external reachability, remote-access method, MFA, segmentation, patch age, logging and recovery capability.

Assessment Checks

Security boundary: this is a prioritization and risk-screening tool. It does not certify compliance with IMO, IACS, class, flag, IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST or a company cyber policy. Do not use the score to justify leaving a known critical remote-access path, default credential, unsafe software state or unrecoverable OT system in service.
