Approach it by mastering the directive's concepts and mapping domains to practical implementation steps, using review exercises and a practice test for timing and coverage.
The exam is described as domain-based, covering NIS 2 fundamentals, requirements, planning, security controls, incident and crisis management, business continuity, awareness, communication, and program testing/monitoring/measurement.
Strong preparation focuses on linking requirements to implementation artifacts: governance decisions, risk outputs, control selections, incident response workflows, and measurable improvement. Practicing with exam-style questions and timed review helps build consistency across domains.
If you can explain how an organization moves from context and risk to controls, response, and improvement, you're prepared for most domain questions.
“Domain exams reward applied reasoning, not memorization.”
