Soya IT Marine Solutions achieves NIS2 and NIST compliance – boosting cybersecurity for the maritime sector

Soya IT Marine Solutions is now compliant with both NIS2 and NIST – the EU and US frameworks for cybersecurity, respectively. This strengthens the company's protection of its customers' most critical data and opens up new opportunities for collaboration in the international maritime market.

Achieving compliance with two of the world's strictest regulations means that Soya IT Marine Solutions delivers top-class cyber security. For customers, this means extra protection against cyber attacks, intrusions and operational disruptions – both on board individual ships and in shipping companies' land-based organisations.

“As a leading provider of IT solutions to the maritime industry, we know how crucial security is to our customers. The fact that we are now compliant with both NIS2 and NIST shows that we are at the forefront and take active responsibility for raising the level of security throughout the industry,” says Thomas Bergefall, Vice President of Soya IT Marine Solutions.

The compliance work includes technical protective measures, risk management, supplier security and incident reporting processes. Particular emphasis has been placed on strengthening protection for the operational environment (OT), where interconnected IT and OT systems can make ship operations vulnerable.

“Threat actors are increasingly targeting OT environments, which can have critical consequences. We have invested a lot of time and resources to meet the extensive requirements and can now offer our customers cyber security at the highest international level,” says Thomas Bergefall.

NIST compliance also means that Soya IT Marine Solutions now meets the stringent requirements imposed on suppliers to the American maritime sector. With this milestone, the company is taking the next step in its long-term efforts to help shipping companies and ship owners protect critical data and stay one step ahead in digital development.
