Somebody Finally Built the Spreadsheet Replacement for E27

No AI here either, and we are including it on purpose, because this is landing on real desks right now.

IACS UR E27 requires cyber resilience for computer-based systems on board, and it pushes the requirement down into the supply chain. Which means somebody in your office is tracking cyber certificates for every supplier who touches a ship system, on a spreadsheet, by hand, with reminders in Outlook.

Cydome has launched a platform to do it properly: one place for the vendor documents, dashboards by vessel, site, supplier and system, automatic flags for missing or unverified information, alerts before certificates expire, and a compliance score.

"E27 introduced important rules for mandatory supply-chain cyber resilience. However, this also brings operational complexity for managing compliance," said Alon Ayalon, Cydome's vice president of research and development and co-founder.

We have not covered cyber since 12 July, and this is the unglamorous end of it. It is also where most owners will actually meet the rule: not as a threat model, but as a filing job that grows every year.
