NIS 2 Directive Foundation

This course provides a practical introduction to the NIS 2 Directive for professionals responsible for cybersecurity governance, compliance, and regulatory oversight. Participants gain clarity on what NIS 2 requires, who it applies to, and how organizations are expected to structure cybersecurity programs under the Directive. The focus is on interpretation, not theory. You will learn how regulators read NIS 2, how requirements translate into operational controls, and where organizations typically underestimate their exposure. This training is designed for professionals who need to explain, assess, or enforce NIS 2 requirements with confidence.
