Penetration Testing for CNI & transport systems

Our CREST-accredited testers simulate attacks on your entire transport ecosystem - across both IT and Operational Technology (OT). We have deep experience testing Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), including rail signalling, station management systems, and in-vehicle telematics. Our testing provides the evidence you need to meet NIS Directive requirements, strengthen cyber resilience, and protect passenger data.

24/7 MDR & EDR for depots, data & vehicles for transport

Transport's distributed assets are a key target. Our 24/7/365 MDR (Managed Detection and Response) service protects your entire operation. We deploy EDR to secure endpoints in depots and offices, and monitor network traffic for threats to telematics and in-vehicle systems. We stop ransomware and APTs before they can disrupt CNI or compromise passenger data.

NCSC CAF & ISO 27001 consultancy for transport

As Operators of Essential Services (OES), transport bodies must comply with the NIS Directive. Our expert consultants guide you through the NCSC CAF (Cyber Assessment Framework). We conduct gap analysis, build your risk management framework, and help you implement a robust ISO 27001 ISMS to demonstrate compliance and secure your operations.

Achieve NIS Directive Compliance

What the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill means for transport operators

The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill will update the Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018 - the framework transport Operators of Essential Services already comply with - expanding its scope and tightening requirements. If you're already managing NIS Directive/OES obligations, the changes ahead are an extension of work you're already doing, not a new starting point. Our NCSC CAF consultancy is built to evolve with your compliance position as the regulatory landscape changes.

Protecting IT and Operational Technology (OT) across the transport network

Transport is one of the most OT-intensive sectors in UK Critical National Infrastructure. Signalling systems, station management platforms, ticketing infrastructure, and in-vehicle telematics all sit in converged IT/OT environments - where an attack on a back-office system can have consequences that reach into physical operations. We help transport operators secure this convergence, from testing OT-adjacent systems through to 24/7 monitoring of the platforms that keep depots, stations, and vehicles running.

  • Testing across converged IT/OT environments, including signalling and in-vehicle systems
  • 24/7 monitoring of OT-adjacent platforms - ticketing, station management, telematics
  • Consultancy to help you evidence OT resilience as part of your NIS Directive/OES obligations

Transport Cyber Security FAQs

  • 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.
