100 Days to Help 1,000 People With Their Cyber Security in Yachting

Written by Matt | May 19, 2025 11:24:50 AM

At Anchorpoint, we’ve set ourselves a clear mission:

Help 1,000 people improve their cyber security in 100 days.

Who do we intend on helping?

  • Crew on yachts 

  • Owners’ reps

  • Owners & Directors of shore-based suppliers 

  • Management companies

Effectively, anyone responsible for running, supporting, or securing yachts.

We’re not talking about selling software or pushing fear.
We're talking about making sense of cyber in plain English and helping people take action that actually matters.

Why does this matter?

We are fundamentally in the trust business. To earn your trust, we must take active steps to protect and support you. This is how we intend to help: By ensuring that every crew member is trained and equipped to handle cyber risks responsibly, and that all suppliers are compliant with the highest data security standards. Trust requires vigilance, and we are committed to being there every step of the way.

Onboard and ashore, we have seen:

  • Confusion over what's 'good enough'

  • Oversold solutions, undersold awareness

  • Leaders left to guess

  • No plan if something goes wrong

  • Technical jargon and acronyms nobody can understand

This isn’t about ticking compliance boxes.
It’s about building confidence across the whole supply chain, from the bridge to the boardroom.

How we’ll track it

We’ll count every person helped in any meaningful way. That includes:

  • Crew cyber security awareness training and quizzes completed

  • Familiarisations and training watched

  • Templates downloaded and used

  • Consultations or reviews delivered

  • Resources submitted or used

  • YouTube training videos watched

We’ll be honest about where we’re at.

So far? We’ve helped 2 people.
Not exactly viral… but we’re just getting started.

Want to help?

You can:

  • Share our resources to your network and connections

  • Ask us a question - we’ll turn it into content

  • Watch and share a video with your team

We're here to be helpful, not noisy.
Let’s make cyber security confidence the new normal in yachting.

One person at a time. 998 to go.
