What CSM Approve brings together
A platform and approved solutions in one journey
01The platform
Your NIS2 compliance journey
The platform reads your policies and procedures, recognises what you already do and prepares what is missing. Every piece of evidence counts for all your frameworks at once.
Built on the Sinplify solution and technology
02The catalogue
Solutions approved by CSM
Our experts selected solutions that each cover part of the NIS2 journey. The platform suggests them automatically, at the moment a requirement calls for one.
The journey
Five steps, then the badge
You always know where you stand and what comes next.
01
Know
You upload your policies and procedures. The platform finds what you already do and shows you what is missing.
02
Decide
You choose your frameworks and your target level, Important or Essential, then you assign who does what.
03
Prove
You follow the three actions that move your compliance forward the most. If you lack a tool, the platform suggests the solutions approved by CSM.
04
Maintain
Your evidence stays up to date thanks to automatic reminders and the mock audit that runs every night.
05
Demonstrate
You export your file as a PDF and open a read-only audit room for your auditor.
06
Earn the badge
Once the Important or Essential level is proven on the platform, you can obtain the CSM Approve badge.
All your frameworks
One piece of evidence, all your frameworks
Every confirmed piece of evidence counts for CyFun®, ISO 27001, ReCyF, DORA, GDPR and CRA at the same time. You never enter anything twice.

FAQ
Answers to your questions
What is CSM Approve?
CSM Approve is a quality label created by Cyber Security Management. It brings together a NIS2 compliance platform and a catalogue of solutions approved by CSM, which the platform suggests throughout your journey.
How is CSM Approve related to Sinplify?
CSM Approve is built on the Sinplify solution and technology, a Belgian compliance platform. CSM sets it up with you and adds its catalogue of approved solutions.
How do we obtain the CSM Approve badge?
The badge is reserved for organisations that completed their NIS2 compliance journey on the platform and proved the Important or Essential level there. Once that level is reached, you can obtain the badge from CSM.
Does the badge replace a certification?
No. The CSM Approve badge is a label from CSM. It shows the journey completed and the level proven on the platform, but it replaces neither an ISO 27001 certification nor the conformity assessment carried out by an accredited body.
Which frameworks are covered?
CyFun® 2025, ISO 27001:2022, ReCyF, DORA, GDPR and CRA. Every confirmed piece of evidence counts for all your frameworks at the same time.
What happens to our documents?
They stay in Europe. The platform uses a European AI hosted in Europe, which makes suggestions without ever deciding for you, and your documents are never used to train a model.
