Transport

Transport systems are the backbone of modern economies — moving people, goods, and data across borders. Airlines, ports, rail operators, and logistics firms face growing cyber threats that can cause operational paralysis, safety risks, and global supply chain disruption.
From ransomware shutting down booking systems to GPS spoofing and port terminal attacks, the sector is increasingly targeted by both cybercriminals and state-backed actors.

Sector risk

Transport is designated as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) in the UK, meaning operators must uphold stringent cyber and resilience standards:

NIS Regulations (2018) — Cover operators of essential services in air, maritime, and rail transport.

NIS2 Directive (EU) — Broadens obligations for incident reporting, supply chain oversight, and governance.

Aviation & Maritime Regulations — Sector-specific rules (e.g. CAA guidance, IMO cybersecurity code for ships).

Operational Safety Requirements — Cyber resilience is directly linked to physical safety and public trust.

For Boards, this means resilience isn’t optional — it’s a regulatory and reputational necessity.

How we can help

We help transport operators strengthen resilience where it matters most:

Cyber Risk Assessments — Passive scans to reveal exposed systems (booking platforms, logistics networks, control systems) and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Crisis & Cyber Exercises — Realistic scenarios such as ransomware halting operations, GPS disruption, or port/airport compromise — testing response across IT, OT, and business functions.

Regulatory Alignment — Mapping outcomes to NIS, NIS2, CAA, and IMO obligations, ensuring Boards can evidence resilience.
