The SGSI – Information Security Management System for the Administration of the Ports of Sines and Algarve (APS) will be extended to the ports of the Algarve and the railway. For this, the SGSI was audited by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance, which, in addition to the follow-up audit, also audited the expansion of the system's scope to the ports of the Algarve and the railway, in accordance with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard.
«The SGSI of the APS already contemplated the security of information applied to the calls of ships and goods at the Port of Sines, managed in the Single Port Window, but now it is now also applied to the calls of ships and goods at the Ports of Faro and Portimão, with the same requirements in terms of Availability, Confidentiality and Integrity of the processed and protected information», explains APS.
The extension of the SGSI to the processing of information on train stopovers and the solution of authorizations from the Tax and Customs Authority for intermodality in the TXXI was also approved.
"These are relatively new features and developed in a Logistic Single Window logic, but whose robustness and innovative sense of use were strong points highlighted by Lloyd's," adds APS.
In this way, APS says it is creating «conditions to respond to the expectations of the interested parties who use and work in the three ports under its management [Sines, Portimão and Faro], providing tools and controls to protect business secrecy and, at the same time, streamline procedures from a SmartPort perspective».
