The document considers both normal operation of equipment and the maintenance of equipment. Communication initiated from navigation or radiocommunication equipment outside of items a), b) and c) above, for example ship side to other ship or shore side, are outside of the scope of this document. This document does not address cyber-hygiene checks, for example anti-malware scanning, etcetera, performed outside of the cases defined in this document. The document is organised as a series of modules dealing with different aspects. Thus, for example, against malicious attempts, which actually or potentially result in adverse consequences to equipment, their networks or the information that they process, store or transmit.
