Transport Security

Stay on the right track with Anchoram’s specialised transportation security services. Securing aviation, maritime, road, rail, and cargo from terrorism and acts of unlawful interference requires a comprehensive approach. We have developed specialised security offerings to help you manage your security.

The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act

The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act (SOCI) now applies to the Transport sector and the Transport Security Amendment (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2022 (Transport Security Bill) that is currently being proposed is appropriate to all regulated Aviation, Maritime and Air cargo industry participants.

The Transport Security Bill will introduce obligations to:

Report cyber security incidents
Identify, and mitigate against, acts of unlawful and operational interference
Amend security plans and programs including undertaking security risk assessments
Register Critical Infrastructure Assets

Resilience to Threats

The security of transport systems is an important part of keeping passengers and operators safe from malicious threats. There are many niche risks, vulnerabilities, and potential dangers that need to be considered when thinking about resilience measures in place on systems such as trains, trams or buses. We offer a range of security services that cover the spectrum from cyber to physical and personnel. We deliver advice, assurance, and audit services to help with your supply chains, quality assurance, security health checks, foreign interference testing, risk assessments, Transport Security Plans, and more.

Achieve greater ROI

Our approach to the development of investment plans is based on a deep understanding of both the regulatory and maturity goals of the Transportation sector in the short and long term and is further reinforced by aligning these to current states and meeting relevant standards across industries such as Rail, Maritime and Roads. When these inputs are developed into capital programs the goals remain clear and traceable and importantly these quality focused engineering approaches found in industries such as Defence and Aerospace are tailored to ensure agility in delivery. What this approach means for customers that operate in asset heavy industries is that security investments are targeted, measurable and traceable allowing organisations to show and prove that the investment has met its goals with the Anchoram team partnering across the development, delivery and verification.

Opportunities for increased revenue

For Transportation operators in franchise models the current changes to Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act will compel operators to adhere to the legislation in the same manner as those in a traditional owner/operator model. This provides opportunities for these franchised operators to value add and uplift operating contracts by offering a plan to ensure compliance across areas such as security tooling, governance, risk management and protective security in line with timeframes set out in the legislation. Taking a forward position on changes to legislation demonstrates an operator’s commitment to security and provides assurances to asset owners that the risks are being addressed. It also creates opportunities to add security requirement uplifts to operating contracts in order to address any new gaps created by legislation.
