Physical security · Cyber systems · Coast Guard compliance

Security for the
working waterfront.

Cameras, access control, and cyber systems for vessels and MTSA facilities: designed, installed, and operated by one firm, with the Coast Guard compliance program to match. Federal grant funding covers most of the build.

Design. Deploy. Operate. Maintain.

We’re not the consultants who hand you a report. We’re the ones who build the system and keep it running.

Surveillance & cameras

facilities & vessels

Facility and vessel coverage for staffed or remote sites.

Access control & perimeter

gates, fencing, credentialing

Gates, fencing, and credentialing built around daily operations.

Network & cyber infrastructure

secure operations

The systems the Coast Guard rule expects you to secure.

Monitoring & maintenance

ongoing operation

We stay on after install, tied into your annual compliance cycle.

Construction is managed, deployment is ours, and one call covers all of it.

33 CFR Part 101 · Subpart F

The Coast Guard compliance program that sits on top.

Covered vessels and facilities need an assessment, a plan, a CySO, crew training, and current records. We run the program without turning a small operation into a refinery.

  • §101.650(e)(1)Cybersecurity AssessmentMap IT, OT, and real risk. Due July 16, 2027 and every year after.
  • §101.625Cybersecurity Officer (CySO)A designated officer reachable by the Coast Guard 24/7.
  • §101.630Cybersecurity PlanBuilt from the assessment and submitted for Coast Guard approval.
  • §101.650(d)Crew trainingAnnual awareness training, role training, and records.
  • §101.615Incident reportingReport cyber incidents to the National Response Center without delay.
The part operators miss

Even an older boat with few computers still needs the assessment. Practical compensating controls can often meet the rule without unnecessary equipment.

Crew training was due January 2026. If yours hasn’t happened, you’re out of compliance today.

What we handle

The whole compliance job, start to inspection.

Cybersecurity Assessment

§ 101.650(e)(1)

We map your IT and OT footprint and document the findings.

Cybersecurity Plan

§ 101.630

We write and submit the plan for your vessel or facility.

CySO as a service

§ 101.625

A designated Cybersecurity Officer, reachable 24/7.

Waivers & equivalency

§ 101.665

We file relief when a requirement is impractical on older gear.

Training & records

§ 101.650(d)

Annual crew training and inspection-ready records.

Annual upkeep

recurring

We keep the assessment and program current cycle to cycle.

The government helps pay for it.

Federal funding can cover most of a qualifying security build.

FEMA’s Port Security Grant Program funds security investments for MTSA-regulated operators every year: cameras, access control, perimeter hardening, and cyber infrastructure.

From gap to funded build

We scope your gaps into a fundable package, coordinate the application with an independent grant writer, engage the Coast Guard before submission, then build what gets funded.

Who we work with

Built for the working waterfront.

  • Stevedoring, terminal, fleeting, and midstream operators on the river system
  • Towing and barge operations on the inland rivers and Intracoastal
  • Offshore supply vessel and crew boat fleets
  • OCS platforms regulated under MTSA

How the engagement runs

From first look to ongoing operation.

STEP 01

Intake

We learn what you run, where it operates, and what is already in place.

STEP 02

Assessment

We inspect the operation and identify physical, cyber, and compliance gaps.

STEP 03

Plan & funding package

We write the compliance plan and scope qualifying systems for funding.

STEP 04

Build

We manage construction and deploy the cameras, access, perimeter, and network systems.

STEP 05

Operate

We hold the CySO role and run monitoring, maintenance, records, and the annual cycle.

Let’s talk

Secure the operation.
Keep it running.

Tell us what you run and where. We’ll come back with a clear scope and price: the compliance program, the systems your operation needs, and what grant funding can cover.
