US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements

Self-Assess
United States (USCG)
v2002 (NVIC 01-20, 2024 updates)
10 domains
33 controls

The US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA, 2002) and subsequent US Coast Guard (USCG) regulations establish security requirements for US maritime facilities and vessels. USCG Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-20 provides guidance on addressing cyber risks in Facility Security Assessments (FSA) and Facility Security Plans (FSP) per 33 CFR Part 105. NVIC 05-17 addresses cyber risks in Area Maritime Security Plans. The 2024 USCG cyber incident reporting rule establishes mandatory cyber incident reporting for MTSA-regulated facilities. Applies to port facilities, OCS (outer continental shelf) facilities, and vessels operating in US waters.

Verified

US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) and USCG Cybersecurity Requirements is a compliance framework from United States (USCG) with 10 domains and 33 controls that map to 204 other frameworks. The largest domains are Cyber Risk Management (NVIC 02-24) (9 controls), 33 CFR Part 105 Facility Security (5 controls), USCG Maritime Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity Plan and Measures (5 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 NIST SP 800-82 Revision 3: Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security

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 (USCG) with 10 domains and 33 controls. The US Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA, 2002) and subsequent US Coast Guard (USCG) regulations establish security requirements for US maritime facilities and vessels. USCG Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-20 provides guidance on addressing cyber risks in Facility Security Assessments (FSA) and Facility Security Plans (FSP) per 33 CFR Part 105. NVIC 05-17 addresses cyber risks in Area Maritime Security Plans. The 2024 USCG cyber incident reporting rule establishes mandatory cyber incident reporting for MTSA-regulated facilities. Applies to port facilities, OCS (outer continental shelf) facilities, and vessels operating in US waters. 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 33 controls organised across 10 domains. The largest domains are Cyber Risk Management (NVIC 02-24) (9 controls), 33 CFR Part 105 Facility Security (5 controls), USCG Maritime Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity Plan and Measures (5 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 204 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are NIST SP 800-82 Revision 3: Guide to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security (15% coverage), Oman National Cybersecurity Framework (12% coverage), NIS2 Directive Implementing Acts (12% coverage). Use our comparison tool to explore control-level mappings between frameworks.
