The confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) model provides a framework for assessing the impact of:

• how to protect the confidentiality of your data, and prevent unauthorised access to and disclosure of information or data about the ship, crew and cargo
• loss of integrity, which would modify or destroy information and data relating to the safe and efficient operation and administration of the ship
• loss of availability due to the destruction of the information and data and/or the disruption to services/operation of ship systems.

In this episode, Walter Hannemann gives an introduction to the framework and briefly discusses the impact for shipping IT operations.
