Global Cybersecurity Standards and Stronger Customer Protection
Soya IT Marine Solutions is now aligned with both NIS2 and NIST – the EU’s and the US’s respective cybersecurity frameworks. This strengthens the company’s protection of customers’ most critical data and opens doors to collaborations with even more players in the international maritime market.
Working processes in line with both NIS2 and NIST means that Soya IT Marine Solutions meets the strictest global standards for cybersecurity. For our clients in the maritime industry, this provides added confidence that their data and operations are well protected against cyberattacks, intrusions, and operational disruptions.
“As a leading provider of IT solutions for the maritime industry, we understand how critical security is for our customers. Being in line with both NIS2 and NIST demonstrates that we are at the forefront and take an active role in raising the security level across the industry,” says Thomas Bergefall, Vice President, Soya IT Marine Solutions.
The compliance work covers everything from technical safeguards and risk management to incident reporting processes and supplier security. This not only strengthens protection onboard individual vessels but also enhances resilience across shipping companies’ entire IT environments – from the shore organization to the fleet.
“Threat actors are increasingly targeting the operational environment (OT), where interconnected IT and OT systems can make vessel operations vulnerable, potentially with extremely critical consequences. We have invested significant time and resources to meet these comprehensive requirements and can now offer our customers cybersecurity at the very highest level,” says Thomas Bergefall.
Being aligned with NIST also means that Soya IT Marine Solutions meets the stringent cybersecurity requirements for suppliers to the US maritime sector. With this milestone, Soya IT Marine Solutions takes the next step in its long-term work to help shipowners and operators protect critical data and stay ahead in the digital evolution.
