II the reliability and functional effectiveness of onboard, safety-
critical, computer-based systems. ACS identi�ed at an early stage that, for ships to be resilient against cyber incidents,
all parts of the industry needed to be actively involved, and so convened a Joint
Working Group (JWG) on Cyber Systems which helped identify best practices,
appropriate existing standards in risk and cyber security, and a practical risk-based
approach.

Building on this extensive collaboration, and utilising the experience gained from its existing
Recommendations, as well as developments at IMO including, in particular, IMO Resolution
428(98) applicable to in-service vessels since the 1st of Jan 2021, IACS has adopted two new
IACS Uni�ed Requirements (URs) on the cyber resilience of Ships:
UR E26 aims to ensure the secure integration of both Operational Technology (OT) and
Information Technology (IT) equipment into the vessel’s network during the design,
construction, commissioning, and operational life of the ship. This UR targets the ship as
a collective entity for cyber resilience and covers �ve key aspects: equipment
identi�cation, protection, attack detection, response, and recovery.
UR E27 aims to ensure system integrity is secured and hardened by third-party
equipment suppliers. This UR provides requirements for cyber resilience of onboard
systems and equipment and provides additional requirements relating to the interface
between users and computer-based systems onboard, as well as product design and
development requirements for new devices before their implementation onboard ships.
These URs will be applied to new ships contracted for construction on and after 1 January
2024 although the information contained therein may be applied in the interim as non-
mandatory guidance.

“These two URs on cyber safety provide
minimum goal-based requirements for the
cyber resilience of new ships and for the cyber
security of onboard systems and equipment.
In an increasingly connected and digitised
maritime world, these URs represent a
signi�cant milestone in IACS’ work to deliver
safer shipping in the face of continuously
evolving technological developments”
