Vanguard Tech has introduced the ‘Digital CSO,’ a groundbreaking digital solution aimed at helping Company Security Officers (CSOs) manage maritime risks amid rising insecurity in the Southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. This innovative product offers shipping companies enhanced visibility, faster decision-making, and improved protection in volatile waters. Developed over 18 months, the Digital CSO provides comprehensive maritime risk management from planning to safe arrival.
The service is anchored by the Vanguard Tech Digital Platform, which allows for real-time assessment, alerting, advising, acting, and assurance. It features a fully integrated AI-driven platform that offers scalable support for fleets of various sizes, including maritime intelligence, digital tracking, and compliance with ISPS standards. Notably, it tailors specific elements for high-risk areas, ensuring safe transit through zones like the Houthi-targeted regions.
Benjamin Simonson, Head of Operations at Vanguard, emphasized that the Digital CSO empowers traditional CSO roles with advanced technology, enabling data-driven insights and continuous monitoring. This integration allows shipping companies to make quicker, more informed decisions, enhancing compliance and safety.
