CySMS

Track your progress. Get compliant. Be secure.

You know cybersecurity matters to the safe operation of your superyacht, but your SMS/ISM system doesn’t cover it. Crew change. Suppliers change. Risks evolve. One-off audits leave you exposed.

Introducing the Cybersecurity Safety Management System (CySMS) for superyachts and their ISM managers, which is simple and affordable.

This is the missing cybersecurity module your ISM/SMS system should already have.
Built to integrate, not complicate.

Dashboard

Real-Time Visibility

See your cybersecurity in motion.

Track your yacht’s cybersecurity status in real time. The CySMS dashboard replaces static Excel trackers and fillable PDFs with a living system that updates automatically, showing risk scores, compliance progress, and open actions, all in one place.

Risk Management Overview

Dynamic Risk Matrix

Continuously adapts to change.

As systems, suppliers, and crew change, so do your risks. CySMS automatically adjusts your risk profile and action plan, ensuring decisions are based on the latest onboard reality, not last season’s paperwork.

Compliance Frameworks

Compliance, Made Easy

Compliance that stays current.

CySMS maps your yacht’s controls against IMO, BIMCO, NIST, and NIS2 requirements, accounting for technical, operational, environmental, and physical measures. It goes beyond one-off testing to demonstrate continuous, auditable compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is CySMS?

CySMS is your yacht’s Cybersecurity Safety Management System. A fully digital system that brings cybersecurity in a familiar ISM/SMS format. Enhanced by human support provided by the team at Anchorpoint. We become a remote extension of your crew. Your virtual Cybersecurity Officer (vCySO), ensuring your yacht stays compliant, secure, and audit-ready year-round. It can work alongside all management companies and ISM/SMS software platforms. 

Why not just appoint someone onboard to handle cybersecurity?

Most yachts do, but that person usually isn’t an experienced cybersecurity professional. Cybersecurity often becomes an additional task rather than a well-managed process. There isn’t a single yacht that needs a full-time cybersecurity specialist onboard; it’s unnecessary and expensive. A permanent position could cost over £100,000 per year (excluding rotation and expenses).

CySMS provides you with software, professional leadership, structure, and year-round vCySO support, all for less than one month’s salary of that role. It’s fractional, remote, cost-effective, and designed to help your onboard technical crew make real cybersecurity improvements with expert guidance.

What is the contract term for CySMS, and how does it work?

CySMS is a 1-year commitment. This gives enough time to establish a clear starting point, make measurable improvements, and demonstrate compliance with cybersecurity frameworks.

At the start, we record your yacht's opening cybersecurity score and baseline controls. Over the year, we manage and track progress, providing quarterly reviews and live dashboards that show your compliance and maturity in real time.

By the end of year 1, you'll have a measurable improvement record, audit-ready reports, and a clear path if you wish to continue with ongoing development into year two and beyond.

Are you like other cybersecurity companies who do testing and then sell services?

No. Most cybersecurity companies generate revenue by identifying vulnerabilities and then offering solutions. Whether that’s new software, testing, or monitoring contracts. We’re different.

Once we’re on your payroll, we become part of your crew. Our value is trust. We align with your yacht's objectives and work within your existing systems, budgets, and resources.

We help you prioritise improvements, manage cyber-related spending, and build a roadmap that genuinely fits your operation. We have no incentive to sell products, services, or solutions. Our only goal is to help you make the right decisions, become more secure over time, and stay compliant with confidence.
