NIS2 Professional Virtual

As cyber risks continue to rise in scale and impact, they have become a critical part of the overall risk profile of modern organisations. Senior management bodies are increasingly required to understand these risks and make informed decisions that consider not only the organisation itself, but also the customers, partners, and end users who rely on its products and services.

The publication of the Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) in December 2022 marked a significant shift in Europe’s approach to cybersecurity and resilience. For many organisations, NIS2 served as a catalyst to strengthen information security practices, develop new services to support compliance, and raise awareness of the directive’s requirements and implications.

The NIS2 Professional virtual course and certification emphasise the essential role of senior management in cybersecurity risk management. Participants gain an understanding of their responsibilities under NIS2, including active involvement in identifying, assessing, and managing cyber risks, and in implementing appropriate measures to ensure those risks are reduced to justifiably acceptable levels. The course supports leaders and professionals in aligning governance, risk, and security practices with the expectations set out by NIS2.
