IMO Maritime Cyber Risk Management · MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3/Rev.4 (2026)

IMO Maritime Cyber Risk Management publishes no machine-readable extract of its control text, so this control is listed by identifier and title; the full wording is in the publisher’s document.

Maps to 3 controls in 2 other frameworks

Framework	Control

NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0	PR.DS-11 Backups of data are created, protected, maintained, and tested
	PR.PS-02 Software is maintained, replaced, and removed commensurate with risk

Mappings are CMDash’s own, seeded with the product and shown on both frameworks they connect. In the product they mean evidence you attach here also counts against the controls listed above.
