NIS2 readiness for Irish & UK SMEs. Gap analysis against the eight NIS2 control families, CISO / DPO scorecard, remediation roadmap and ongoing oversight. Calm, evidence-led — not a checkbox factory.

NIS2 brings 'essential' and 'important' entities into scope across a much wider set of sectors than NIS — energy, transport, food, postal, manufacturing, digital infrastructure, ICT-service management, public administration, research. Many Irish SMEs are in scope and don't realise it. The first thing we do is establish whether you are, and write it down.
You bought a SaaS portal that asked 400 yes/no questions, produced a 90-page PDF, and left your CISO / IT manager staring at a wall of 'partial' answers. That's a checkbox exercise, not readiness. We deliver a written roadmap, prioritised by what the regulator actually cares about, with the evidence already attached.
Insurers are now asking for control-family-level evidence. If your answer is 'we have a policy somewhere', the renewal becomes a fight. Our deliverable gives you the controls inventory, evidence pack and remediation timeline in the format insurers and auditors expect.
Most SMEs in scope don't have, and don't want, a full-time CISO on payroll. They want named senior accountability, board-ready reporting, and someone competent in the room when the questionnaire arrives. We sit in that seat.
We start by establishing — formally and in writing — whether NIS2 applies to your organisation, under which sector, and whether you're 'essential' or 'important'. The applicability statement is the first thing an auditor or insurer asks for. We produce one that survives scrutiny.
Risk management, incident handling, business continuity, supply chain, vulnerability handling, training, cryptography, access control. We assess your current posture against each family, mapped to GDPR Art. 32 and MITRE ATT&CK so the same evidence works for multiple frameworks.
A two-pager your CFO and your directors can actually read. RAG status per control family, top three risks, remediation roadmap with dates and owners. Refreshed quarterly. This is what your insurer renewal pack and your statutory directors' report need.
Where Intellix has the in-house capability — endpoint hardening, identity, email security, network segmentation, vulnerability patching, backup architecture — we close the gaps directly. Where a specialist is needed, we manage the procurement, scope and acceptance for you.
When the worst happens — ransomware, BEC, data leak — you have a named senior on speed dial, a documented IR runbook, and pre-agreed legal / DPC notification templates. The 24-hour early-warning clock under NIS2 doesn't wait for you to figure out who to call.
Optional monthly retainer — board pack refresh, quarterly review meeting, vendor questionnaire handling, training coordination, and named senior cover for the role. Significantly cheaper than a full-time CISO; significantly more useful than a portal.
