NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
A free framework, voluntary for most organisations, for governing, identifying and reducing cyber risk. Version 2.0 (February 2024) added a sixth function, Govern.
SeafoodCyber Resilience Hub
Bringing seafood organisations, cybersecurity professionals, technology providers and industry leaders together to strengthen resilience across a time-critical global supply chain.
Hub overview
Collective resilience for a connected sector.
Seafood and aquaculture combine sensor-driven farming, vessel operations, processing, ports and cold-chain logistics. The hub enables practical collaboration where digital disruption can rapidly become product loss.
What we do in the hub
Threat briefings
Timely, food-sector context on emerging threats and defensive priorities.
Expert roundtables
Small, trusted conversations between operators, practitioners and partners.
Resilience exercises
Scenario-led sessions for testing decisions before a real incident.
Working groups
Focused collaboration on common controls, dependencies and good practice.
Executive exchanges
Peer discussions designed for boards and operational leadership.
Research & playbooks
Useful outputs shaped by the people responsible for food operations.
The operational reality
Why Seafood needs cyber resilience
Digital systems now sit inside the processes that keep products safe, production moving and customers supplied.
Aquaculture system compromise
Attacks on feeding, oxygenation or water-quality systems can rapidly threaten stock and operations.
Port and vessel access
Satellite links, remote systems and distributed crews create complex identity and access risks.
Cold-chain disruption
Connected refrigeration and logistics systems are critical to safety, quality and continuity.
Sector cyber compliance
From requirements to operational confidence.
The frameworks organisations build on, and the rules worth knowing where they operate.
Frameworks for every hub
Global Global ISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for an information security management system. Organisations can be certified against it by an accredited certification body.
Global ISA/IEC 62443
A series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems — the operational technology that runs plants, farms and warehouses.
Why it matters
Helps secure connected production equipment without compromising availability.

Rules to know, by region
European Union NIS2 Directive
The EU's cybersecurity directive, applied through each country's own law, covers food businesses engaged in wholesale distribution and industrial production and processing — generally medium-sized and large ones.
Why it matters
Seafood processors and wholesalers in scope must manage cyber risk across their plants and suppliers and report a significant incident within strict deadlines.
Read moreEuropean Union EU catch certificates (CATCH)
Since 10 January 2026, EU importers of fishery products submit catch certificates through the EU's digital CATCH system.
Why it matters
Catch documentation now lives in a digital system, so the accuracy and availability of these records matter at the border.
Read moreUnited States FDA's Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204)
Requires firms handling foods on FDA's Food Traceability List to record key data elements at critical tracking events such as shipping and receiving.
Why it matters
Finfish, crustaceans and bivalve shellfish are on FDA's list, and FDA can ask for the records within 24 hours in an outbreak or recall — so traceability systems must stay available and accurate.

A starting point, not legal advice — which rules apply depends on where and how your organisation operates.
Hub community
Connected across the food ecosystem.
Bringing the right disciplines to the same table — from operators and producers to security practitioners and technology partners.
