It is intended for cybersecurity professionals, IT managers and IT staff, and public sector or regulatory officials involved with NIS 2. It fits those needing a baseline understanding of requirements.
A NIS 2 Directive Foundation training is designed for people who need a solid baseline on the directive’s terminology and requirements, without necessarily being responsible for full program implementation. The course is especially relevant when organizations must align multiple functions on a common understanding of obligations and expectations.
Cybersecurity professionals benefit by gaining a structured overview of the directive and by practicing how to interpret requirement statements. This helps them communicate clearly with management and other teams and reduces the risk of inconsistent interpretations across projects. For professionals who later move into lead roles, the Foundation course creates a stable base for deeper implementation training.
IT managers and IT professionals attend to understand how NIS 2 affects secure system implementation and the resilience of critical systems. The course helps them see how requirements map to program elements they influence directly, such as asset visibility, operational readiness, and basic control expectations. This understanding improves collaboration with security teams when translating requirements into technical and operational actions.
Government and regulatory officials involved in enforcing NIS 2 attend to reinforce understanding of the directive’s core concepts and requirement areas. A shared vocabulary supports more consistent discussions with regulated entities and improves the quality of oversight dialogues.
In practice, the best participant mix is cross functional: security, IT, risk, and oversight roles. The Foundation format, combined with practical case exercises, makes it suitable for teams that want to align quickly on what the directive says and how organizations typically approach implementation.
Organizations often treat NIS 2 as a security topic only, but implementation depends on IT and management decisions as much as on controls. Bringing IT and security together in a Foundation course is an efficient way to create shared understanding before launching larger workstreams.
For public sector roles, the same logic applies. A consistent interpretation method supports more productive engagement with organizations and reduces debates that come from unclear terminology rather than from real differences in posture.
“A shared baseline reduces friction and contradictory interpretations.”

It is best for professionals who need a practical baseline understanding of NIS 2 requirements, including cybersecurity, IT management, and regulatory stakeholders.
At Foundation level, approaches focus on scoping, governance, and mapping requirements to program components. The aim is to recognize practical techniques used to implement NIS 2 obligations.
The Foundation course introduces NIS 2 concepts, definitions, and the main requirements. It focuses on how to interpret requirements and recognize common implementation approaches.
