GTMaritime said its suite of data communications services is designed “with cyber security in mind”
It cites its flagship email service GTMailPlus, which includes several standard cyber-security features providing end-to-end encrypted communications and protection against malware, viruses, spam and phishing and the GTDeploy tool, which provides update patches to ensure vessel software is up to date and security compliant.
Defining requirements for an information security management system, ISO/IEC 27001 establishes a complete approach to information security that encompasses people, policies and technology.
Compliance with the standard is evidence that an organisation has created a comprehensive system to asses and manage information security risks, and preserve the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data it owns and handles on behalf of its clients.
GTMaritime technical director Jamie Jones said, “ISO/IEC 27001 accreditation is recognition that GTMaritime has implemented a set of effective policies and controls to manage information security and has a continuous improvement culture to adapt and respond to ever-changing cyber-security risks in a structured manner. For our customers, accreditation provides assurance of our commitment to information security and the protection of the data we process on their behalf.”
The company also offers a choice of specialist cyber-security solutions to suit the user’s budget and service requirements.
The Protect package provides next-generation anti-virus protection, external device control, reporting and round-the-clock support, while Advanced Defend delivers the same features plus an end-point firewall, asset inventory and additional advanced functionality.
GTMaritime chief executive Rob Kenworthy said cyber security is crucial to the compan’s offering, “By implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system according to the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, it provides reassurance we are both committed and able to manage their information securely and safely.”
