Course Overview
The NIS2 Directive establishes enhanced cybersecurity and resilience requirements for organisations operating in essential and important sectors across the EU. This mentor-led course introduces the directive in a clear and structured way, helping learners understand what compliance means in practice and how organisations should respond.
You will explore key areas including scope, governance expectations, security obligations, and incident notification requirements. Through practical scenarios, you will examine how organisations identify responsibilities, implement basic controls, and manage cybersecurity risks in line with NIS2 expectations.
The programme also provides insight into supply chain security, enforcement mechanisms, and penalties, ensuring you understand both operational and regulatory impacts. By the end, you will be equipped to support early-stage compliance efforts and contribute to organisational readiness initiatives.
