Opleiding: Foundation NIS2

A practical introduction to the EU's NIS2 Directive, designed for professionals who need to understand what NIS2 requires, who it applies to, and how it shapes cybersecurity and resilience obligations across Europe. This course explains the purpose, scope, and core requirements of the directive in clear, accessible terms, without assuming prior legal or technical expertise. Participants will explore the background and objectives of NIS2, the distinction between essential and important entities, the sectors in scope, and how national transposition works across EU member states.
The course covers the ten core risk management measures, including governance and management accountability, incident handling and reporting, business continuity, supply chain security, vulnerability handling, cryptography, access control, and secure development. Learners will also see how NIS2 aligns with related frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF, DORA, and GDPR, and how supervision, enforcement, and potential penalties apply in practice. By the end of the course, participants will be able to speak confidently about NIS2 concepts, recognize the key obligations that affect their organization, and contribute effectively to NIS2 readiness and compliance initiatives. Who it's for: Security, risk, compliance, legal, and operations professionals, as well as managers and executives who need a solid foundation in NIS2 without prior specialist knowledge. Format: Short, self-paced modules with real-world examples, practical scenarios, and a closing knowledge check.
