Description

NIS2 requires organizations in critical sectors and providers of essential services to ensure that their cybersecurity and business continuity are in order. The NIS2 directive is not a technical matter, but a board-level challenge. The new European cybersecurity legislation makes board members and directors personally responsible for their organization's digital resilience and continuity. The days of optional IT security are over.

To comply with the NIS2 directive, it’s important for organizations to prepare thoroughly, develop an action plan and implement appropriate measures. By getting started in a timely manner, you not only strengthen your legal compliance but also lay the foundation for sustainable, future-proof cybersecurity.

During this boardroom training, you will discover:

  • How your organization can be held accountable at board level in the event of cyber incidents
  • What you need to put in place now to prevent fines and reputational damage
  • How to use NIS2 not only as an obligation but also as a strategic advantage

NIS2 does not require policies that exist only on paper, but demonstrable and robust implementation of cybersecurity measures. During this training, we translate legislation into practical reality. You will learn not only what you need to do, but above all how to embed it within your organization.

Target audience

This boardroom training is intended for board members, directors, senior management, C-level executives (CEO, CFO, COO) and supervisory board members.
