CR2 Public Transparency

What CR2 Public Transparency does

CR2 Transparência Pública (legal name: CR2 Transparência Pública) is a privately held Brazilian company founded in 2011 by Ricardo da Fonseca, specializing in public transparency advisory services for municipal governments. Operating from offices in Florianópolis (Santa Catarina) and Belém (Pará), the company serves 345 municipal clients simultaneously across 22 Brazilian states, with a team of 57 public transparency specialists. CR2's primary offering is the Assessoria em Transparência Pública, a structured methodology created in 2016 that the company contractually guarantees will deliver 100% compliance with Brazilian public transparency laws (LAI, Lei da Transparência, Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal) and the PNTP Diamond Seal.

The company's product portfolio centers on two core technology assets: Portal CR2, a transparency portal software integrated with municipal back-office systems (Accounting, HR, Procurement, Assets, Public Works, RPPS), and Site Governamental, a WordPress-based, accessibility-compliant government website platform. These are bundled with managed hosting (150 GB SSD, cPanel, SSL, multi-layer security) and unlimited government email accounts. Supplementary services include sector-specific training, individual follow-up with each municipal department, bi-weekly or monthly compliance reporting, optional CR2-led publication services, and priority support. The Premium and Standard subscription tiers are sold via multi-year contracts at quote-based pricing.

CR2's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting mayors, municipal chamber presidents, controllers, and government managers. Lead generation is driven by a free initial portal diagnostic offer, supported by an extensive content marketing engine (blog covering 11 categories, SEO, newsletters, and a library of free eBooks and guides on PNTP, LGPD, internal control, and procurement). Between 2022 and 2025, CR2 clients captured 412 PNTP Diamond Seals, representing 21.29% of all Diamond Seals delivered to Prefectures and Chambers in Brazil during that period. The company maintains 158 customer reviews with an Excellent rating on Google/Trustindex, and has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or M&A activity.
