Maritime DFIR Platform

VISMA

Vessel Investigation & Security Monitoring Appliance

Maritime-native DFIR platform enabling vessel-side investigation, fleet-wide threat hunting, and Incident Response from shore-side operations.

Built for maritime environments where connectivity is limited, onboard access is difficult, and cyber incidents cannot wait for physical attendance.

Why VISMA Exists

Maritime cyber incidents are difficult to investigate
from shore.

Vessels operate with limited bandwidth, intermittent connectivity, distributed systems, and physical access constraints. Standard security tooling is rarely designed around vessel-side investigation, evidence collection, and maritime Incident Response.

01

Limited vessel connectivity

Satellite links and intermittent access make large data transfers impractical.
02

Delayed onboard access

Investigation teams cannot always board a vessel during an active incident.
03

Forensic visibility gaps

Fleet operators need a way to collect, search, and preserve vessel-side evidence from shore-side operations.

What VISMA Does

Vessel-side investigation, managed from shore.

VISMA enables maritime teams to remotely investigate cyber incidents, perform vessel-wide threat hunts, and collect forensic evidence directly from shore-side operations.

The Forensic Bridge

Shore-side investigation. Vessel-side evidence.

A continuous investigation loop between your shore-side operations team and the vessel at sea — initiated remotely, executed onboard, returned as preserved evidence.
