The Problem
The EU NIS2 Directive (effective since January 2025) massively expanded cybersecurity obligations. Companies with 50+ employees or €10M+ turnover in 18 critical sectors must now implement comprehensive risk management, incident reporting (24h early warning, 72h detailed report), supply chain security controls, and business continuity plans. Management is personally liable for failures.
Evidence from forums:
- Reddit r/cybersecurity: "ISO 27001 for SMB — Why blindly trusting GRC tool templates is a trap... templates are often not audit-safe by default, can be outdated, overly formal, and require substantial manual adjustments" (source)
- Reddit r/SaaS: "Compliance software recommendations... most GRC platforms are clunky and designed for larger enterprises" (source)
- Reddit r/smallbusiness: "How are you supposed to live up to EU regulations as a small business?" (source)
- Aon research shows average NIS2 readiness score of only 58%, with critical weaknesses in business continuity, incident handling, and supply chain security
The core problem: NIS2 is mandatory, enforcement is intensifying in 2026, fines are devastating (up to €10M or 2% of global turnover), but existing tools are built for Fortune 500 companies, not for a 75-person logistics company in Portugal or a 120-person manufacturer in Poland.
