When FortiGuard, Zscaler, Cisco or Palo Alto wrongly flag your site as Malicious, every user behind that corporate firewall is silently blocked — no error you control. We get your legitimate domain reclassified across 27+ vendors, fast.
A single wrong category can block your customers with no error you control. For a booking portal or B2B service, that means lost bookings, lost trust, and an availability incident.
Three tiers — from a one-off check to always-on monitoring across 27+ web-filter, secure-web-gateway, safe-browsing and reputation vendors.

Questions about getting your domain correctly classified? We’re here to help.
If your port is in an EU member state, almost certainly yes. Maritime transport is listed as an essential service in Annex I, Section 2 of the NIS2 Directive. This includes port authorities, terminal operators, and port management companies.
Essential entities face fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Additionally, Article 20 holds management bodies personally liable — directors can face personal penalties for failure to ensure compliance.
ISO 27001 covers approximately 60-70% of NIS2 requirements. However, NIS2 adds maritime-specific needs: OT security for cranes and gate systems, 24-hour incident reporting to CSIRTs, supply chain security for TOS vendors, and board-level cybersecurity training obligations. PCA's audit identifies exactly where the gaps are.
With PCA Tier 3 (Full Compliance), most ports achieve 85%+ compliance within 90 days and 90%+ within 6 months. The timeline depends on your current maturity level. Our Tier 1 Audit identifies your starting position and provides a realistic roadmap.
Yes. Unlike generic cybersecurity consultants, PCA has deep expertise in maritime OT: crane SCADA systems, Terminal Operating Systems (Navis N4, Tideworks), gate automation, AGVs, and environmental monitoring. Our assessments cover both IT and OT networks.
Three things: maritime expertise (73+ ports vs 0 port references), automation (312 checks vs spreadsheets), and cost (3x more affordable). Big 4 firms charge EUR 300-500K/year and assign generalists who don't know a TOS from an ERP. PCA assigns maritime cybersecurity specialists who understand port operations.
