Cyber Risk Management for MTSA-Regulated Facilities

A trusted ally to government agencies, ABS Group offers a range of cybersecurity services to help maritime facilities throughout the nation implement a comprehensive cyber risk management program.

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) makes clear in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-20 that facilities need to conduct effective cybersecurity assessments in order to meet existing MTSA-regulated facilities guidelines and regulations. That means facilities like yours are expected to address cyber risk in their existing facility security plan. ABS Group's cybersecurity team has deep domain expertise working with the Coast Guard and in emergency management and facility security. Learn more about our services for MTSA-regulated facilities.
