Who Has Access to Your Aircraft

Every credential in your maintenance supply chain is an open door.

Your director of maintenance can name every MRO, avionics specialist, and systems contractor currently holding active remote access credentials to aircraft in your fleet. What they cannot tell you is whether any of those credentials have been shared, whether any remain active after an engagement has ended, or whether the infrastructure sitting behind any of them has been compromised. The answer to all three questions, in most charter fleets, is the same: unknown.

Remote access to aircraft systems was designed for operational convenience. It was not designed with the assumption that every vendor in your supply chain is a potential threat vector. CyberPlus applies zero-trust architecture to the maintenance access problem so that the answer to every one of those questions is not unknown but verified.


Maintenance Access Inventory

We conduct a full audit of every active and dormant remote access credential across your fleet: MRO providers, avionics contractors, OEM support relationships, and systems integrators. The result is a complete picture of who can currently reach your aircraft systems, through what pathway, and with what level of access. Most operators find credentials they did not know were still active. Some find access relationships they cannot account for at all.

Zero-Trust Remote Access Implementation

Legacy VPN credentials grant broad network access to anyone who holds them. Zero-trust architecture replaces that model entirely: every access request is verified, every session is time-limited, every connection is logged, and access is restricted to the specific system the vendor requires for the specific task they are performing. A contractor who needs to run diagnostics on an avionics system gets access to that system for that session and nothing else.

Vendor Security Assessment

The security posture of the vendors in your maintenance supply chain is your security posture. We assess the cyber hygiene of the MROs, avionics specialists, and systems contractors who hold access to your aircraft, identify the relationships that represent unacceptable risk, and provide the framework for requiring minimum security standards from every vendor in your supply chain as a condition of continued engagement.

Ongoing Access Governance

Maintenance supply chains change. Vendors are added, engagements end, and access credentials persist long after the work is complete. We implement the ongoing governance process that ensures your access inventory stays current: a defined process for provisioning new vendor access, a defined process for revoking it when an engagement concludes, and a regular audit cycle that catches anything that has been missed.

When the Threat Becomes an Incident

An aircraft on the ground costs you revenue by the hour. A cyber incident costs you more.

A charter operator with a fleet of nine aircraft has three departures scheduled for a Saturday morning. At 06:40 an avionics system on one aircraft begins producing anomalous data. The maintenance team identifies it as a software fault and begins the diagnostic process. By 09:15 two more aircraft in the fleet are showing similar anomalies. The operator's IT team is not involved. Nobody has considered the possibility that the fault is not a fault. The aircraft sit for eleven hours while the maintenance team works through the wrong hypothesis.

The boundary between an avionics fault and a cyber incident is not always visible from the maintenance side. CyberPlus closes the gap between aircraft systems monitoring and cyber threat detection so that the right hypothesis is on the table from the first minute.


Aircraft Systems Threat Monitoring

We deploy continuous monitoring across the avionics systems, flight management computers, and connected ground infrastructure in your fleet. Anomalies that match indicators of compromise are escalated to CyberPlus immediately, in parallel with the maintenance team's investigation, so that a cyber hypothesis is not the last thing considered but the first.

Ground Infrastructure and FBO Connectivity

Every time your aircraft connects to ground infrastructure — FBO networks, ground power systems, avionics update ports, and maintenance laptops — it is a potential introduction point for a threat. We assess the security of the ground connectivity your fleet uses across your regular FBOs and handling agents and implement the controls that prevent your aircraft systems from being the exit point for someone else's compromised infrastructure.

Incident Response for AOG Scenarios

When a potential cyber incident causes or contributes to an AOG, the response requires both technical and operational coordination simultaneously. CyberPlus provides a pre-agreed AOG incident response protocol: a dedicated point of contact, a clear escalation pathway, and the technical capability to assess whether the fault is a software issue, a hardware issue, or an active compromise, at the speed the commercial situation demands.

Post-Incident Forensics and Documentation

When a cyber incident affecting aircraft systems has been resolved, the documentation that follows is as important as the response itself. Regulators, insurers, and principals will want to understand what happened, how it was contained, and what has been done to prevent recurrence. We produce the forensic analysis and the remediation documentation required by each of those audiences so that the incident closes cleanly rather than generating a prolonged investigation.

The Record That Protects You

The maintenance record your auditors, insurers, and regulators will ask for.

Your director of maintenance has complete confidence in the work your MRO partners perform. What they do not have is a record that proves it. Access logs that could not have been altered. Session records that capture every action taken during a remote maintenance event. A chain of evidence that satisfies an IS-BAO auditor, an insurance underwriter following a claim, and an airworthiness authority simultaneously. The work is good. The record is not.

An operation that can demonstrate the integrity of its maintenance access chain holds a fundamentally different position in every conversation with a regulator, an insurer, or a principal's legal advisor. CyberPlus builds that record as a byproduct of securing the access itself.


Immutable Session Records

Every remote maintenance session generates a complete, tamper-evident record: who accessed the system, when, from where, what commands were executed, and what changes were made. That record cannot be altered, deleted, or withheld. It exists independently of the vendor's own systems and is available to your operation, your auditors, and your insurers without requiring cooperation from the contractor who performed the work.

Integration with Existing Maintenance Management Systems

Vision+ records sync automatically with your central maintenance management system. The records do not exist in a separate system that needs to be manually reconciled with your existing documentation. They are part of your maintenance record from the moment they are created. Nothing in your existing workflow needs to be replaced or rebuilt.

Airworthiness Directive Compliance Documentation

When an airworthiness directive requires a maintenance action, the record of that action needs to demonstrate not just that the work was done but that the access used to do it was controlled, verified, and logged throughout. CyberPlus provides the access chain documentation that sits alongside your AD compliance records and answers the question your airworthiness authority will eventually ask.

Insurer and Auditor Ready Records

IS-BAO auditors, ARGUS assessors, and aviation insurers are increasingly asking for evidence of secure maintenance access practices rather than accepting verbal assurance. We produce the documentation package that answers every question in a form each audience recognises: a technical summary for your auditor, a risk management narrative for your insurer, and a compliance record for your airworthiness authority.

Fleet Access Review

A discreet
conversation.

We offer a no-obligation fleet access review: a structured assessment of every active and dormant remote access credential across your operation, the vendors who hold them, and the monitoring gaps that currently exist between a session and a record. Strictly confidential, with all findings entirely yours to keep. No marketing follow-up. No automated sequences. No obligation beyond the hour. Every remote session your vendors have run against your fleet either has a tamper-evident record or it does not. One of those answers protects you when the question arrives. The other one does not.
