A Simple Path to Compliance with New USCG Cyber Rules

For U.S. vessel operators, running a tight ship has always meant prioritizing safety and reliability. With the new US Coast Guard cyber rules now in effect, the definition of “safety” has a critical new dimension.

If you’re running a small or mid-sized fleet, it probably feels like another complex mandate designed for large fleets with huge IT teams and unlimited budgets. You’re focused on moving cargo and keeping your vessels operating, not on becoming a cybersecurity expert overnight.

The good news? You don’t have to be.

While many providers are talking about complex, scary hacking risks and expensive, enterprise-level services, we believe in a simpler path forward. As a partner to maritime fleets for over 40 years, we understand your reality. Your primary goal isn’t to build a fortress; it’s to pass your USCG audit and keep your operations running smoothly and safely.

That’s why we focus on compliance, not complexity.

At KVH, we can help fleets like yours achieve USCG compliance with a simple, 3-step approach that provides a clear, audit-ready roadmap for total peace of mind.

Your 3-Step Compliance Roadmap:

Here’s the rundown (don’t worry, we’ll keep it simple):

1. Assess: We quickly and clearly understand where your operations currently stand against the new rules. No jargon, no confusion—just a straightforward evaluation.
2. Implement: Next, we provide simple, affordable tools to tick the boxes for the new USCG cyber rules. Our CommBox™ Edge Secure Suite was designed to address the core requirements of the new rules, like network segmentation and automated threat reporting, without requiring a costly and disruptive overhaul of your systems.
3. Comply: Finally, we help you build a clear, documented plan. The result is the confidence that comes from knowing you are prepared for any audit and secure in your operations.

We also know that every fleet is different. That’s why our partnership is flexible. Whether you just need the right tools to empower your existing team, or you want our team of experts to manage the entire process for you, we can build a plan that fits your fleet and your budget.

The deadline is here, but it doesn’t have to be a source of stress. Stop worrying about the “how” and start your journey to confident compliance.
