v33 CFR subchapter H as of 2026-09-23, including subpart F 'Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System' (90 FR 6298, 17 Jan 2025; effective 16 Jul 2025; training by 12 Jan 2026; assessment, CySO and plan by 16 Jul 2027)
2 domains
19 controls

US Coast Guard regulations under the Maritime Transportation Security Act for vessels, port facilities and Outer Continental Shelf facilities, now including the January 2025 cybersecurity rule: facility security officers, assessments, approved security plans, drills, records, MARSEC levels, access control and incident reporting, plus cyber incident reporting since 16 July 2025, cybersecurity training by 12 January 2026, and by 16 July 2027 a Cybersecurity Officer, annual Cybersecurity Assessment and an approved Cybersecurity Plan covering MFA, asset inventories, patching of known exploited vulnerabilities, IT-OT segmentation, supply chain controls, backups and incident response.

Verified

US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements is a compliance framework from United States with 2 domains and 19 controls that map to 196 other frameworks. The largest domains are Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System (33 CFR 101 subpart F) – US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements (12 controls), MTSA security program for facilities (33 CFR 101.305, part 105; parallel duties in parts 104 and 106) – US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements (7 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements with ISO 27002:2022

Coverage is not the same as your position

This page shows what US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements overlaps with in general. Where your organisation actually stands, against the standard you are going for and the certifications you already hold, is a different question. Same graph and the same recorded refutations, scoped to you rather than to a pair.

What is US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements and who does it apply to?

US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements is a compliance framework from United States with 2 domains and 19 controls. US Coast Guard regulations under the Maritime Transportation Security Act for vessels, port facilities and Outer Continental Shelf facilities, now including the January 2025 cybersecurity rule: facility security officers, assessments, approved security plans, drills, records, MARSEC levels, access control and incident reporting, plus cyber incident reporting since 16 July 2025, cybersecurity training by 12 January 2026, and by 16 July 2027 a Cybersecurity Officer, annual Cybersecurity Assessment and an approved Cybersecurity Plan covering MFA, asset inventories, patching of known exploited vulnerabilities, IT-OT segmentation, supply chain controls, backups and incident response. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements actually require?

US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements has 19 controls organised across 2 domains. The largest domains are Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System (33 CFR 101 subpart F) – US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements (12 controls), MTSA security program for facilities (33 CFR 101.305, part 105; parallel duties in parts 104 and 106) – US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements (7 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements do I already cover?

US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements maps to 196 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ISO 27002:2022 (38% coverage), NIST SP 800-82 Revision 3: Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security (10% coverage), BSI IT-Grundschutz (8% coverage).
