Solutions designed to support compliance with IMO cyber risk management requirements, IACS UR E26/E27, BIMCO guidelines and NIS2.
24/7 vessel support delivered by experienced operations engineers who know maritime environments. When something happens, you reach people who can act — not just log a ticket.
IT infrastructure, connectivity and cyber security delivered through a single operational model and a single point of contact.
Our teams work exclusively with maritime environments, vessels and fleet operations.
From onboard networks and communications to cyber security and cloud services, we help customers reduce operational complexity and vendor fragmentation.
Trusted by ship owners and vessel managers to deliver maritime IT, connectivity and cyber security services across fleets of all sizes.
DNV
Our management system is certified by DNV to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment) and audited annually. How we assess, protect, monitor and report on cyber security is described in the Defend Suite.
Security at sea is a team sport. These are the organisations we work with to stay ahead of the threat landscape and the regulations.

Globetech is part of Nekkar ASA, a listed industrial group with a long-term horizon.
Certification body for our ISO 9001 and 14001 management system.
Together with Nortech AI, we help customers collect and utilise operational technology (OT) data from vessels to create dashboards, analytics and business insights that support smarter decision-making.
Compliance
Compliance-driven purchases need a clear map from requirement to control. This is how the Globetech Defend Suite and our foundation services line up with the frameworks your auditors and flag states ask about.
IMO MSC.428(98)
Requires cyber risk to be addressed in the safety management system. Defend Suite Readiness (risk assessment, policies, asset inventory) produces the documented approach; the Defend Portal keeps the evidence current.
IACS UR E26 / E27
Mandatory for newbuild contracts from 2024. Segmented infrastructure, access control, logging and incident response map directly to the E26 lifecycle requirements; E27 system requirements are handled with our OEM partners during design.
BIMCO
The industry playbook behind most owners' cyber policies. Our awareness programme, patch management and change control follow the BIMCO structure so your policy and our operations speak the same language.
NIS2
Applies to many European operators and their essential suppliers. The compliance SLA, 24/7 monitoring, immutable backup and incident reporting give you the controls and the reporting chain NIS2 expects.
For procurement and audit: what each framework asks for, which Globetech control answers it, and what you can hand to an auditor.
| Requirement | What it asks for | Globetech control | Evidence you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| IMO MSC.428(98) / ISM | Cyber risk addressed in the safety management system | Readiness: risk assessment, policies, asset inventory, cyber maturity survey | Documented risk assessment and policy set; cyber maturity status in the Defend Suite |
| IACS UR E26 | Cyber resilience of the ship: identify, protect, detect, respond, recover across the vessel lifecycle | Segmented infrastructure, PAM, EDR, logging, incident response, immutable backup | Network zoning diagram, access records, incident and recovery reports per vessel |
| IACS UR E27 | System and equipment security capabilities for newbuild computer-based systems | Advisory in the design phase with yards and OEMs; secure network infrastructure baseline | Design-phase review notes and baseline configuration |
| BIMCO guidelines | Owner-side cyber policy, awareness, patching and change control | Awareness programme, patch management, config and change management | Training records, patch status and change log in the Defend Portal |
| NIS2 | Risk management measures, incident reporting chain, supply-chain security | Compliance SLA, 24/7 monitoring and alerting, backup / disaster recovery, reporting | SLA reports, alert history, recovery tests, incident timeline |
| ISO 9001 / 14001 | Quality and environmental management of the supplier | DNV-certified management system since 2022, audited annually | DNV certificates on request |

Typical documentation we provide in tenders and supplier assessments:
Sea1 Offshore
Our first customer, since 2011. How Sea1 Offshore runs IT, connectivity and security across its fleet with Globetech.
Read the case →“Globetech makes us safer and more robust. They understand that IT on a vessel is not the same as IT in an office.”
“The team responds like operations people, not like a help desk. That is what proper 24/7 support means to us.”
Fleets we work with
Globetech AS is part of Nekkar ASA. Nekkar is a listed Norwegian industrial group, which gives us a long-term owner and audited finances.
Our management system is certified by DNV to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment), first certified in 2022 and audited annually. Certificates are available on request.
Access to customer systems is secured through encrypted remote management and monitoring (RMM) tools, individual authentication and activity logging. Customers may also choose to implement privileged access management (PAM) to strengthen control, monitoring and auditability of third-party access to vessel and shore-based systems.
Defend Suite is designed to support compliance with key maritime cyber security requirements, including IMO cyber risk management requirements, IACS UR E26 and E27, BIMCO guidelines and NIS2. While compliance remains the responsibility of the operator, the Defend Portal can help simplify audits and reviews by providing documentation, reporting and security insights that support compliance efforts.
A phone number answered around the clock by an on-call engineer who can act on the vessel remotely through controlled privileged access — and who knows the difference between a critical deviation and something that can wait until Monday.
Yes. References are available on request, and we are happy to put you in touch with an offshore, cargo or offshore-wind operator in your segment.
Yes. Advisory is often the first step before a newbuild or fleet-wide project, and for E27 we work in the design phase with the yard and the equipment suppliers so the delivered systems meet the security baseline.
Usually not. We start from the existing switches, cabling and link contracts, add segmentation, access control and detection on top, and only replace hardware that cannot carry the security baseline.
The Defend Portal provides continuous visibility into cyber security performance across the fleet, including patch compliance, vulnerability management, security alerts and remediation activities. Reporting and historical trends help customers demonstrate continuous improvement and support compliance reviews.
