The challenge

NIS2 has reached SMEs. Consultancies haven't.

Decree-Law 125/2025 extends cybersecurity obligations to thousands of Portuguese small and medium-sized enterprises, companies without the budget for specialised consulting or dedicated security teams.

Complex regulation

A European directive, a decree-law, a national reference framework: just understanding what applies to your company is a project in itself.

Real fines

Non-compliance can cost up to millions of euros and make management bodies directly accountable. Ignoring it is no longer an option.

Limited resources

No CISO, no security team, no consulting budget. SMEs need a clear, affordable path, not another 200-page report.

The solution

From uncertainty to an action plan, in one place

NIS2PME turns the regulatory framework into a concrete journey: assessment, controls, evidence and reports, all in language management understands.

Guided self-assessment

A 10-question, plain-language questionnaire mapped to the most common vulnerabilities in SMEs. At the end, you receive a priority action plan: the controls to address first.

Controls tailored to your level

You only see the controls the regulatory framework requires of your organisation, from the Basic to the High level, with statuses, priorities and progress per domain.

Evidence management

Attach documents and proof to each implemented control. When supervision comes knocking, everything is organised and ready to present.

Compliance reports

Track maturity per domain, identify priority actions and export reports for management, auditors or the competent authorities.

Document templates

Pre-filled policies, plans and procedures: your incident response plan no longer starts from a blank page.

Multi-user and audit trail

Multiple users with distinct roles and a complete audit log of every action on the platform.

Proportional by law

The right level for your organisation, no more and no less

It is Decree-Law 125/2025, through the QNRCS, that determines the compliance level applicable to each entity, based on its size, risk and criticality. The platform applies the regulatory framework: the assessment classifies your organisation and presents only the required controls.

39 controls

Basic

The QNRCS entry level: the fundamental cybersecurity hygiene practices.

72 controls

Substantial

Reinforced requirements for entities with greater risk exposure and impact.

91 controls

High

The most demanding level, for the largest and most critical entities.

+16 optional

Beyond the minimum

Additional controls for those who want to go further: up to 107 controls in total.
