Decision Intelligence for Cyber-Risk Governance
DeGoyle helps Irish critical infrastructure operators turn relevant cyber intelligence into accountable decisions, residual risk visibility, and board-ready evidence.
Built for operators navigating NIS2, CER, and director-level governance expectations.

Cyber risk is fragmented. Accountability is not.
Directors bear legal responsibility for cyber risk under NIS2 and CER. Yet most critical infrastructure operators lack the connected systems to support them.
Fragmented cyber risk
Threat intelligence, vulnerability data, and compliance evidence exist in separate systems. Directors cannot see the full picture.
Accountability without visibility
Under NIS2, directors must sign off on cyber risk measures. Yet most lack a defensible, connected view of their organisation's exposure.
Manual evidence burden
CISOs spend critical time compiling reports, chasing approvals, and building audit trails instead of managing actual risk.
Why this matters now
Irish operators must show how cyber risk was assessed, approved, tracked, and evidenced. Most still rely on disconnected tools, manual reporting, and fragmented audit trails.
Operator Scope
NIS2 & CER
Irish operators within the regulatory frame
NIS2 and CER shape the operating environment for Irish critical infrastructure. The question is no longer whether governance expectations apply, but whether they can be evidenced coherently.
Governance
Regulatory Oversight
Boards expected to evidence cyber governance
Irish operators face supervisory, audit, and governance scrutiny. Leadership must show how cyber risk is reviewed, approved, tracked, and documented as part of normal operations.
CER Framework
Resilience of Critical Entities
National resilience framework for critical entities
The National Strategy on the Resilience of Critical Entities 2026–2029 sharpens expectations around resilience planning, incident reporting, interdependencies, and strategic oversight.
From external intelligence to accountable governance
A governed workflow that connects cyber events to leadership review, treatment oversight, and audit-ready evidence.
External threat intelligence
- Advisory and vulnerability disclosures
- Sector and regulatory alerts
- Asset, supplier, and dependency context
Curated inputs relevant to critical operations and governance obligations.
Governance decision layer
Exposure and dependency analysis
What is affected, where it matters, and how it connects to essential operations
Decision-ready risk context
Structured context for accountable review, approval, and escalation
Treatment and residual risk oversight
Status, ownership, treatment posture, and residual exposure visibility
Audit and evidence record
Board-ready and regulator-ready documentation of decisions and actions
Decision output
Leadership decision and evidence output
Named approval and sign-off workflow
Board-level visibility into cyber risk posture
Audit-ready evidence for regulatory scrutiny
A documented chain from external signal to accountable management action.
Scenario resilience assessments sit alongside the operational workflow as a connected governance input.
Governance capabilities
Everything required to govern cyber risk at the board level
See what matters to your organisation
Connect incoming cyber advisories to the assets, suppliers, and dependencies that actually matter to your operating environment.
Turn cyber signal into decision context
Give leadership a live view of exposure, treatment status, and residual risk instead of scattered technical updates.
Track risk treatment and residual exposure
Monitor whether risk has been accepted, reduced, transferred, or deferred — and what residual exposure still remains.
Run scenario resilience assessments
Assess how your organisation would perform against realistic cyber scenarios relevant to critical infrastructure.
Require named sign-off
Core differentiatorSupport accountable approvals, pending actions, and director-level oversight with a visible governance workflow.
Produce audit-ready evidence
Maintain a decision trail that can support board reporting, regulatory scrutiny, and incident-era evidence requests.
Distinct but connected
NIS2 distinguishes between operational cyber risk management (Article 21) and management body oversight (Article 20). DeGoyle maintains this separation while connecting both layers, so cyber risk signals flow to board-ready decisions and produce auditable evidence.
Operational Cyber Risk Management
Entities must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to manage cyber risk. DeGoyle provides the operational layer: threat intelligence, risk registers, treatment tracking, and resilience assessments.
- Live threat intelligence integration
- Risk register and treatment tracking
- Scenario resilience assessments
- Incident response documentation
Management Body Oversight
Management bodies must approve cybersecurity measures and oversee their implementation. DeGoyle keeps governance distinct but connected: sign-offs, audit trails, and board-level visibility.
- Director-level dashboards
- Approval and sign-off workflows
- Governance audit trail
- Regulatory evidence record

Energy
Power generation, transmission, and distribution operators
Utilities
Water, gas, and essential service providers
Data Centres
Critical digital infrastructure operators
