Regulatory and compliance context
Port and terminal operators handling critical infrastructure may fall within scope of the Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854). If designated as National Critical Information Infrastructure (NCII), operators carry obligations around annual risk assessment, biennial audit and incident reporting, plus whatever their sector's code of practice specifies — OT/IT segregation is a common expectation in that kind of code of practice, not a line item named directly in the Act itself. Confirm your entity's NCII status and applicable code of practice before treating this as a compliance guarantee.
Port and terminal operations run on infrastructure that can’t afford unplanned downtime — terminal operating systems, gate access, and increasingly, regulatory obligations under the Cyber Security Act 2024 for sites designated as critical infrastructure.
What maritime operations need from IT
Reliable, segmented networks that separate operational technology from standard office IT, physical cabling that holds up to marine and industrial site conditions, and a documented security posture that can withstand an audit.
Common problems we’re called in to fix
Networks where OT and IT traffic aren’t properly segregated, cabling and network hardware not rated for the site’s actual conditions, and a lack of documentation that becomes a problem the moment a compliance review or an NCII assessment happens.
How we work with maritime clients
Engagements typically start with a network and security assessment covering all sites, followed by a phased remediation and deployment plan that accounts for live operations — cutovers are scheduled to avoid disrupting terminal operations.
