From NCSC CAF consultancy and CREST pentesting to 24/7 MDR for telematics and passenger data, we protect transport operators.
Cyber Faqs for transport
-
The NIS Directive (Network and Information Systems) is EU/UK law that requires Operators of Essential Services (OES) to protect their critical systems. Most major transport (rail, air, ports, road) is classed as OES. This means you must prove you are managing cyber risk, which is where our NCSC CAF consultancy becomes essential.
-
The CAF (Cyber Assessment Framework) is the NCSC's tool for OES to assess their resilience against the NIS Directive. Our consultants use the CAF to run a gap analysis on your critical systems (e.g., signaling, passenger info, telematics) and create a clear, prioritized roadmap to achieve compliance.
-
Yes. This is a highly specialized area we cover. Our CREST-certified team tests the entire telematics ecosystem, including the in-vehicle hardware, the 4G/5G communication channel, and the backend cloud platform where the data is stored. We identify risks that could allow vehicle compromise or data theft.
-
Our MDR (Managed Detection and Response) service places sensors on your critical systems (e.g., servers, ticketing machines, staff PCs) and monitors them 24/7. If a threat like ransomware is detected, our SOC team can instantly isolate the infected device, preventing it from spreading and taking the entire depot or station offline.
-
They work together. ISO 27001 is the international standard for your Information Security Management System (ISMS)—the "how" you manage risk. The NCSC CAF is the specific set of technical and procedural outcomes you must achieve for your critical systems to be compliant as an OES. We help you build an ISMS that uses CAF as its benchmark.
