Application security review
Assess authentication, authorisation, data storage, network exposure, update mechanisms and relevant mobile or desktop application behaviour.

VIGILIS MARITIME RESEARCH LAB
Test the application.
Respect the environment.
Independent assessment for companies developing maritime software and connected products—including applications that exchange data with NMEA 2000 devices.
FOR MARITIME DEVELOPERS
See how your product behaves beyond the happy path.
Maritime applications often sit between mobile devices, onboard networks, gateways, cloud services and marine electronics. Security and resilience depend on how those boundaries are handled in real conditions.
Our laboratory creates controlled, repeatable scenarios around the application and the interfaces in scope. We help development teams uncover unsafe assumptions, weak data handling and integration problems before they reach a customer’s vessel.

LABORATORY SCOPE
A closer look at application, protocol and data behaviour.
NMEA 2000 integration testing
Evaluate how an application or gateway receives, interprets and transmits selected NMEA 2000 messages in a controlled test network.
↗Malformed & unexpected data
Observe how the product handles missing, stale, conflicting, out-of-range or unexpected inputs, within an agreed safe test plan.
↗Resilience & recovery
Assess behaviour during connection loss, device restarts, degraded data quality and recovery from interrupted sessions.
↗Custom detection scenarios
Create representative telemetry and validate product-specific alerts for suspicious endpoint, network or navigation-data behaviour.
↗Architecture consultation
Review trust boundaries between the app, vessel network, marine gateway, cloud components and the people who administer them.
↗NMEA 2000, CLEARLY DEFINED
Integration testing with honest boundaries.
NMEA 2000 is a marine data network used by compatible onboard instruments and systems. It carries standardised messages—known as Parameter Group Numbers, or PGNs—over a CAN-based network.
Our work focuses on the application, gateway and data behaviour that can be reproduced safely in the agreed test environment. Manipulating NMEA 2000 data in a lab is different from over-the-air GNSS interference, and the findings are described accordingly.
Built for product teams.
We can work before release, during integration, after a reported issue or as an independent security review for a customer or partner requirement.
A REPEATABLE ENGAGEMENT
Evidence your team can use.
01 / DEFINE
Agree the target
Product version, components, interfaces, supported devices, test data and explicit boundaries.
02 / BASELINE
Establish normal
Record expected behaviour and the evidence needed to interpret each scenario.
03 / TEST
Run scenarios
Execute controlled tests and preserve results so relevant findings can be reproduced.
04 / IMPROVE
Support remediation
Report impact, evidence, limitations and practical recommendations to the development team.
