Security at The Yacht Trader: Your Vessel Data, Protected
Your yacht represents a significant investment. The data behind it deserves protection that matches its value.
At The Yacht Trader, we’ve built security into every layer of our platform — not as an afterthought, but as the foundation upon which everything else is built.
Our Security Philosophy
We operate on a simple principle: trust is earned through transparency in intent, not in implementation.
You should know that your data is protected. You don’t need to know how — and neither should anyone with malicious intent.
What We Protect
Vessel Records
Every vessel in our registry maintains a complete, verified history. Service records, ownership changes, compliance documents, and valuations are all tracked with full traceability.
Personal Information
Your contact details, financial information, and private communications are protected by multiple layers of access control. Only authorized parties with legitimate business relationships can access sensitive data.
Business Relationships
Whether you’re an owner, broker, mechanic, surveyor, or service provider, your professional activities on the platform remain confidential and secure.
How We Approach Security
Defense in Depth
We don’t rely on a single security measure. Multiple independent layers protect your data, so even if one layer were compromised, others remain intact.
Least Privilege Access
Every user, every system, and every process has access only to what it needs — nothing more. Permissions are scoped by role and verified on every request.
Immutable History
Critical records cannot be altered or deleted. Corrections are logged as new entries, preserving the complete audit trail that regulators, insurers, and buyers depend on.
Cryptographic Verification
Key records are anchored with blockchain technology, providing independent, tamper-proof verification that exists outside our systems.
Compliance-Ready by Design
Our platform is built to satisfy the requirements of:-
Flag State Authorities — Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, BVI, and more-
Classification Societies — ABS, Lloyd’s, and other major class organizations-
Financial Regulators — IRS charter compliance and audit-ready financial-
Insurance Underwriters — Complete documentation for coverage verification
When regulators or insurers request documentation, you’ll have it ready.
Continuous Vigilance
Security isn’t a destination — it’s a practice. Our team:
Monitors for emerging threats and vulnerabilities
Conducts regular security assessments
Updates dependencies and patches systems proactively
Reviews access patterns for anomalies
Your Role in Security
Strong platform security works best with informed users:-
Use strong, unique passwords for your accounts.
Enable two-factor authentication when available.
Review access permissions you’ve granted to other parties.
Report suspicious activity through our in-app reporting system
