This DCSA implementation guideline is aimed at assisting those companies with the responsibility of implementing and ensuring compliance with the BIMCO guidelines for cyber security on-board vessels. As a guideline, it does not set out specific technical or configuration standards for vessel systems, but instead provides a management framework that can be used to reduce the risk of cyber incidents that could affect the safety or security of the vessel, the crew, or the cargo. Lastly it is aligned with the IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) compliance.
