Switchshop designs and delivers resilient quayside networking, OT security, CCTV, ANPR and managed IT for UK ports and harbour authorities. Aligned to NIS2, NCSC CAF and Maritime Cyber Security guidance, with UK-based, 100% in-house engineering.
Resilient connectivity across quaysides, terminals and yards
Hardened fibre, wireless and private 5G/LTE designs that cover quaysides, container yards, RoRo lanes, warehouses and gatehouses, engineered for salt, weather and 24/7 operations.
Securing OT, terminal operating systems and crane control
Segmented IT/OT networks aligned to IEC 62443, NIS2 and NCSC CAF, protecting Terminal Operating Systems, crane control, PLCs and gate automation without disrupting throughput.
Border, customs and security surveillance
High-density CCTV, ANPR, perimeter and thermal camera networks integrated with Border Force, Police and harbour control, with retention aligned to UK GDPR and SyAC requirements.
Hardened fibre, copper and wireless networks across quaysides, container yards, RoRo lanes, warehouses and gatehouses, engineered for harsh marine environments.
Wi-Fi 6E/7 and private 5G/LTE coverage for cranes, straddle carriers, reach stackers, tablets and worker devices, with seamless roaming across the estate.
Approved CCS supplier across G-Cloud and Technology Products & Associated Services, useful for trust ports, harbour authorities and publicly funded port infrastructure.
Architectures and managed services mapped to the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and NIS2 Directive for Operators of Essential Services in maritime transport.
Delivery aligned to the DfT Maritime Cyber Security Code of Practice for Ports and Port Systems, and to IMO 2021 cyber risk management guidance.
Designed and deployed a hardened quayside network refresh for a UK container port, supporting Terminal Operating System, crane control and OCR portals with no disruption to vessel operations.
Vessel, crew and visitor connectivity
Carrier-grade Wi-Fi for cruise terminals, ferry lounges, crew welfare and tenant offices, with segmented guest, corporate and operational SSIDs and identity-based access.
Multi-tenant port estates and concession operators
Standardised LAN, WAN and security architectures that let harbour authorities offer connectivity and security services to terminal operators, freight forwarders, agents and tenants.
Compliance with maritime and national cyber regulation
Delivery aligned to NIS2, NCSC CAF, DfT Maritime Cyber Security Code of Practice and IMO 2021 guidance, with documentation built for regulator and insurer scrutiny.
IT/OT segmentation, firewalling, EDR and 24/7 monitoring aligned to NIS2, NCSC CAF and IEC 62443 for Terminal Operating Systems, crane control and gate automation.
Designed and delivered IP CCTV, ANPR, thermal and perimeter intrusion systems for quaysides, gates, fencelines and storage areas, with integration to control rooms.
Resilient networks behind TOS, gate, weighbridge and crane systems, with low-latency connectivity to OCR portals, RFID readers and yard automation.
IP backhaul and integration for VHF, TETRA, DMR and PA systems, linking harbour control, pilots, tugs and emergency response across the port estate.
Single sign-on, MFA and role-based access for harbour authority, terminal operators, agents, tenants and contractors across IT and OT systems.
On-prem, colocation and hybrid cloud platforms tuned for TOS, ERP, finance, billing, CCTV and analytics workloads across multi-site port groups.
Immutable backup and tested recovery for TOS, ERP, CCTV and email, so a single ransomware event never closes a quay or grounds vessel operations.
IoT and sensor networks for environmental monitoring, vessel tracking, energy, shore power and predictive maintenance across the port estate.
Passenger Wi-Fi, check-in, e-gate and signage networks for cruise and ferry terminals, with PCI DSS aware design for retail and F&B concessions.
Engineering crews experienced in live ports, planning works around vessel schedules, tides, customs windows and high-risk operational areas.
Refreshed CCTV and ANPR across a major UK ferry port, integrating with Border Force and harbour control, with retention aligned to UK GDPR and SyAC requirements.
Segmented IT and OT networks across a multi-port harbour authority, aligning to NIS2 and NCSC CAF without impacting Terminal Operating Systems or gate automation.
