USCG MTS Cyber Compliance Freight Fraud & BEC Terminal & Yard OT/IT TMS/WMS & Third-Party Access Incident Response & Continuity
Question 1 of 20 0%
What it covers
Five domains. Twenty honest questions.
Built around the risk picture we actually see in freight, 3PL, and terminal operations: a hard USCG compliance deadline landing inside the sales cycle, freight fraud that is now a six-figure-per-incident problem, and gate and yard systems where an outage forces manual processing overnight. The assessment gives you a maturity score per domain so the conversation with leadership can be about the gap: not the score.
-
USCG MTS Cyber Compliance
CySO designation, Cybersecurity Assessment, and 14-section Cybersecurity Plan required for MTSA-regulated vessels, facilities, and OCS facilities under 33 CFR Part 101 Subpart F.
-
Freight Fraud & BEC
Email authentication, carrier/broker identity verification, and payment-change controls: the surface behind 2025's $725M in cyber-enabled cargo theft and freight fraud losses.
-
Terminal & Yard OT/IT
Segmentation between corporate IT and gate, yard, crane, and automated-warehouse systems: the boundary that forced NC Ports onto manual processing in August 2026.
-
TMS/WMS & Third-Party Access
EDI and API integration accounts, vendor access to your transportation and warehouse management systems, and the identity hygiene cyber insurers now underwrite against.
-
Incident Response & Continuity
24/7 detection, tested backups, and a rehearsed response plan: the discipline that decides whether an intrusion costs hours or an open-ended stretch of manual operations.
-
What does the assessment cover?
Twenty questions across five domains: USCG MTS cyber compliance (CySO, Cybersecurity Assessment, Cybersecurity Plan), freight fraud and BEC controls, terminal and yard OT/IT segmentation, TMS/WMS third-party access, and incident response. Each answer maps to a maturity level (Initial, Developing, Managed, Optimized) cross-walked to 33 CFR Part 101 Subpart F, NIST CSF, and FMCSA fraud guidance.
-
How long does it take?
About ten minutes. You can stop at any point, your answers are scored locally in the browser and never leave your device until you choose to request a written report.
-
Do I need to give an email address?
No. The assessment runs entirely client-side. If you want a written report and a 30/60/90-day plan from our team, you can request one at the end, but the score itself is yours immediately.
-
Is this a substitute for a real audit?
No. It is a fast, honest self-check, meant to surface the obvious gaps a freight, 3PL, or terminal operator should fix before a customer questionnaire, a cyber-insurance renewal, or the USCG's mandatory Cybersecurity Assessment. See penetration testing and managed detection and response.
About this shipping & logistics cybersecurity assessment
What this assessment measures, and why a stopped gate is the metric that matters.
This shipping and logistics cybersecurity readiness assessment is built around the controls that matter most when an attacker compromises a carrier, 3PL, or terminal operator: the USCG Cybersecurity Plan and Cyber Security Officer requirements under 33 CFR Part 101 Subpart F, freight fraud and business-email-compromise controls behind 2025's roughly $725 million in cyber-enabled cargo theft and fraud losses, up about 60% year over year, the OT/IT segmentation boundary between corporate networks and gate, yard, and crane systems, and the third-party access governance that TMS/WMS integrations and vendor accounts require.
Scoring runs locally in your browser, nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly request a written report. The output emphasizes the operational-continuity risk that has already played out in this vertical: on August 4, 2026 the North Carolina State Ports Authority had to move gate processing to manual operations across three facilities after a cyberattack, with no confirmed restoration timeline at the time of reporting.
How shipping and logistics teams typically use these results
Three patterns: (1) USCG deadline readiness, MTSA-regulated facilities and vessel operators use the score to see how much of the 14-section Cybersecurity Plan is actually built before the July 16, 2027 submission deadline; (2) fraud-loss reduction, brokers and 3PLs use the freight-fraud domain score to justify MFA and payment-verification investment against a documented average loss of roughly $274,000 per cargo theft incident; (3) customer and insurer evidence, shippers and carriers increasingly embed cyber-insurance and security requirements directly into contracts.
What to do next
Cyberuptive serves freight carriers, 3PLs, ports, and terminal operators with managed cybersecurity programs that span IT, OT, and regulatory compliance. Our Managed Detection and Response covers identity and endpoint threats with active containment authority, our managed firewall service enforces the segmentation boundary between corporate IT and terminal or yard OT, our penetration testing services validate TMS/WMS and EDI exposure, and our SOC-as-a-Service gives freight and terminal operations the 24/7 coverage a compliance deadline and a fraud epidemic both demand.
