NIS2 Lead Implementer / Auditor
NIS2 (Network and Information Systems Directive 2) is the EU’s updated cybersecurity directive designed to strengthen cyber resilience across critical and important sectors. It introduces stricter requirements for governance, risk management, incident reporting, supply chain security, and accountability — and significantly expands the number of organisations that must comply.
NIS2 raises the bar for cybersecurity maturity by requiring organisations to implement structured security measures, demonstrate oversight at management level, and improve preparedness against modern cyber threats.
Both courses lead to a globally recognised PECB certification, validating your expertise in NIS2 compliance and cybersecurity governance.

Why NIS2 Matters Now
Cyber threats, ransomware, supply chain attacks, and operational disruptions are increasing across Europe. At the same time, more organisations than ever are considered essential to society — not only in energy, healthcare, and transport, but also in digital infrastructure, manufacturing, food production, waste management, and public administration.
NIS2 is the EU’s response to this reality: a stronger, broader directive that enforces cybersecurity as a strategic and legal responsibility. It introduces tighter incident reporting requirements, stronger governance expectations, and more accountability at executive level.
This creates strong demand for professionals who can interpret the directive, translate it into actionable cybersecurity measures, and ensure compliance through implementation and auditing.
