Risk. Compliance.
Audit Readiness.
Finally Connected.
Cyber and information-security governance for organisations in Ireland, the UK and the EU — and, since October 2026, the EU AI Act for the AI systems they use.
Vivid Risk helps organisations assess risk, stay audit-ready, simplify compliance, and make better business decisions.
Between them, scored controls are cited to 6 frameworks — NIS2, ISO 27001, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0, NCSC CAF, GDPR — each checked against its own published text, with CyFun Basic, Important and Essential coverage for Ireland and the EU. Every scored control in the core questionnaire carries its NIS2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF 2.0 and NCSC CAF citation, and its DORA or GDPR citation where it has one; the DORA-only questions cite DORA alone. The Cyber Resilience Act is covered separately, by an Article 14 reporting register for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents, with all six stage deadlines verified against the Official Journal. The EU AI Act is covered separately, by a register of the AI systems you use, a guided classification path for each system with the article behind every step, the duties that follow for your role with their citations and start dates, and the records the Act asks a deployer to keep. Serious-incident clocks run in the incident register.
- Understand your risk exposure
- Stay audit-ready year-round
- Prioritise what matters most

Why Organisations Choose
Vivid Risk
Most organisations have no shortage of data, reports, policies, or compliance activities.
What they lack is clarity.
“What are our biggest risks?”
“Are we audit-ready?”
“Which compliance gaps should we fix first?”
“What is the financial impact of those risks?”
“Which regulations apply to us?”
“How do we demonstrate compliance to auditors and regulators?”

What Vivid Risk is not
This is cyber and information-security governance. If you are looking for any of the following, we are the wrong tool and would rather you knew now.
Product safety, CE marking or conformity assessment
We cover the Cyber Resilience Act's incident and vulnerability REPORTING clock. We do not assess a product against essential requirements, produce technical documentation, or issue a Declaration of Conformity.
AI Act conformity assessment, certification or classification on your behalf
The AI Act workspace records the AI systems you use, shows what your answers indicate with the article behind each step, and keeps your records. The classification is yours; it certifies nothing, carries out no conformity assessment, and files nothing with anyone.
Manufacturing, machinery or workplace safety
Nothing here assesses physical process risk, machinery directives or occupational health and safety.
Financial, credit or market risk
The loss model quantifies the financial impact of CYBER events, from your own estimates. It is not a treasury, credit or market-risk tool.
ESG, quality or environmental management
No ISO 9001, no ISO 14001, no sustainability reporting.
An ISMS, or certification of any kind
We produce a self-assessed maturity score with cited controls and an evidence register. A certificate comes from an accredited body after an audit, and nothing here substitutes for one.
AI-Powered
Governance
Modern organisations need more than compliance tracking. They need governance they can keep current between audits.
Vivid Risk combines AI-assisted analysis with human oversight to help organisations:
- Track compliance readiness
- Prioritise risk reduction activities
- Manage regulatory obligations
- Prepare defensible audit trails
Deterministic logic and explainable AI models deliver consistent evidence trails verified against legal and technical standards.
What Makes Vivid Risk Different?
Most platforms simply track compliance items. Vivid Risk gives you an actionable intelligence layer.
- Understand Risk
- Prioritise Action
- Quantify Impact
- Demonstrate Readiness
- Support Executive Decisions
Risk as a Decision System
Traditional compliance tools focus on checklists.
Vivid Risk focuses on decisions.
Instead of simply showing compliance gaps, we help organisations understand:
- 01. PriorityWhat matters?
- 02. SequenceWhat to address first?
- 03. ExposureWhat is the business impact?
- 04. ActionWhat action to take next?
“Audit identifies the problem. Vivid Risk explains the cost and helps guide the response.”

Board Briefing Pack
What NIS2, DORA, GDPR and the NIS Regulations ask of a board, a three-step way to meet it (assess, prioritise, govern), and what Vivid Risk gives the board at each step. It also says plainly what Vivid Risk does not do.
NIS2, read the way your regulator reads it
Other tools count integrations. We start from the law your organisation is actually under, and show our working.
Cited, and checked
Every control we score cites the instrument it comes from, and says whether that citation has been checked against the primary text.
The law that applies to you
NIS2 is a Directive, so it binds you through your country's law. The UK is under the NIS Regulations 2018 and the NCSC CAF, not NIS2. Ireland has not yet transposed NIS2, so S.I. No. 360/2018 still applies. We tell you which, before we score anything.
Every clock, from one incident
Log an incident once, and each of the fourteen reporting obligations we track that applies to you runs its own deadline, side by side. A calendar month is counted as a calendar month.
Ready for supervisory review
Download a supervisory review pack: your score, every control with its citation, your gaps, and every incident with each deadline it owed and whether you recorded a filing. It is not a filing; we never file for you.
Expert guidance from people
A partner practice, such as an MSP, an auditor or a consultancy, can manage your workspace and guide the work. You decide what is filed, and with whom.
