Cyber Security Management System (CSMS)

About CSMS Certification

ClassNK certifies that the Cyber Security Management System established and operated by a company is functioning effectively both within the company and onboard its ships, with the highest priority placed on ensuring the safe operation of ships.

Benefits of CSMS Certification

Many of the cyber security requirements in external assessments such as DryBMS, OCIMF and RightShip focus on how cyber risk is managed.

Building a CSMS in line with these guidelines and getting it certified gives companies an objective way to show external stakeholders that their cyber security management is sound. It also helps them meet the requirements of external assessments, such as vetting inspections and company audits, more smoothly.

ClassNK has published the "Guidelines for Cyber Security Management System for Ships", which set out the basis for this certification.
