Benchmark: Coast Guard Maritime Cybersecurity Compliance: 33 CFR Parts 101 & 160

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System (33 CFR Parts 101 and 160). In about five minutes, you’ll get a quick read on whether you understand the rule’s intent, its operational impact on IT/OT environments, and the practical trade-offs you’ll face when implementing controls, training, and reporting.

What you’ll get from this benchmark:
– A snapshot of your readiness across policy intent, operational impact, risk management, and incident reporting—without trivia or memorization.
– Signals on where you may need deeper guidance: building a compliant Cybersecurity Plan and Cyber Incident Response Plan, implementing MFA and least privilege, segmenting IT/OT networks, securing logs and encryption, and preparing drills, audits, and assessments.
– Clarity on compliance processes (reportable incidents, records/retention, waivers and equivalencies) and the consequences of falling short.

If your responses reveal gaps, this course will help you turn requirements into an actionable playbook—reducing operational risk, avoiding enforcement surprises, and strengthening resilience across your vessels, facilities, and OCS operations.

NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all Benchmarks are free of charge!
