How Vulnerable Is Your Airport to a Cyber Attack?

On January 30, 2026, a ransomware gang posted Tulsa International Airport on its dark web leak site, dumping executive emails, employee identification documents, financial spreadsheets, and internal governance records. TUL has dedicated cybersecurity and IT teams. Most smaller airports don't.

TSA Emergency Amendment 23-01 already requires every Part 139 certificated airport to maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan, designate a cybersecurity coordinator, and report incidents to CISA within 24 hours. CIRCIA's mandatory 72-hour reporting rule takes effect in 2026. The FAA's Aviation Rulemaking Committee is expected to tie new cybersecurity standards to AIP grant eligibility by mid-2027.

The regulatory floor is rising. This assessment shows you where you stand.

How It Works

Step 1: Answer 14 Questions (Free — Takes About 10 Minutes)

The assessment covers your airport's systems, network architecture, access controls, incident response readiness, and regulatory compliance posture. Questions are written for airport operations staff, not IT professionals. No technical expertise required.

Step 2: Get Your Free Preview Report (Delivered Instantly)

Within minutes, you'll receive an email with a personalized preview report. It identifies your specific cybersecurity vulnerabilities and risk areas mapped against TSA EA 23-01 requirements. The preview shows you the problems — so you know exactly where your gaps are.

Step 3: Upgrade to the Full Report ($97)

The complete assessment includes detailed remediation strategies, a prioritized implementation roadmap, regulatory compliance cross-references, grant funding guidance, and a 72-hour action plan—everything you need to act on the preview's findings.

What's in the Full Report

Overall Risk Score & Classification

Your airport is scored on a 0–102-point scale, with a clear risk category—Low, Moderate, High, or Severe—so you know exactly where you stand relative to current requirements.

Vulnerability Analysis with Solutions

Every vulnerability identified in your preview is now paired with a solution tailored to your airport's resources, along with measurable success criteria for each fix. No generic template content — every finding is based on your answers.

TSA Regulatory Roadmap

EA 23-01 requirements are mapped, requirement by requirement, against your current state, including gap remediation steps, priority levels, and timelines (Part 139 airports). For general aviation airports not subject to EA 23-01, the report provides voluntary guidance on the cybersecurity framework aligned with CISA best practices.

Strategic Implementation Plan

A three-phase approach — Stabilization, Foundation, Comprehensive — with specific actions, investment ranges, and funding sources for each phase. Prioritized so that low-cost, high-impact organizational measures come before capital investment.

72-Hour Quick Start Plan

Hour-by-hour assignments that any airport manager or operations manager can begin executing today. No budget approval or outside consultants required for the first 72 hours.

Budget Planning & Grant Funding Strategy

Implementation cost estimates by phase; cost-of-inaction analysis; federal and state grant sources (AIP, AIG/IIJA, SHSGP, CISA no-cost services) with application guidance; and ROI leverage, showing how $1 in local investment can unlock up to $19 in federal funding.

Success Metrics & Benchmarking

Projected risk score reduction at 30, 90, and 365 days. Measurable milestones with verification methods. Benchmarking against what airports of your size have actually achieved — not theoretical ideals, but demonstrated standards currently maintained in the field.

Who This Assessment Is For

This assessment is designed for:

• Airport managers and operations directors at Part 139 certificated airports (Class I through IV)

• Airports subject to TSA EA 23-01 cybersecurity requirements

• Facilities without dedicated IT or cybersecurity staff

• Airports seeking AIP grant funding for cybersecurity improvements

• Airports preparing for CIRCIA reporting requirements and evolving FAA cybersecurity standards

• General aviation airports seeking to strengthen their cybersecurity posture ahead of evolving federal requirements

• Airports that own and operate non-federal navigation aids (ILS, VOR, DME) under 14 CFR Part 171

No technical expertise required — questions are written for airport operations staff, not IT professionals.
