NIS-2 Directive Foundation Training and Certification

The NIS-2 Foundation provides you with a sound basic understanding of the NIS-2 Directive and its significance for modern organizations. The focus is on how cyber and information security must be holistically conceived, managed, and accounted for in the future. You will learn about the objectives, structure, and scope of NIS-2 and understand why the directive goes far beyond traditional IT security measures. The training explains the key requirements for organizations – from risk management and security measures to reporting obligations and clear responsibilities at management level. You will also learn how NIS-2 can be meaningfully integrated into existing security, governance, and compliance structures. Practical examples show how the first steps towards implementation can be planned and evaluated without getting lost in regulatory details. The NIS 2 Foundation thus creates a solid knowledge base for confidently classifying and correctly interpreting the requirements of the directive and making informed decisions for the implementation of cyber resilience and information security.

The NIS-2 Foundation is aimed at anyone who wants to gain a basic understanding of the requirements and implications of the NIS-2 Directive for their organization. It is particularly aimed at specialists and managers who deal with cyber, information, and corporate security, governance, risk, or compliance issues. The target audience includes employees from IT, information security, and data protection, as well as managers, legal, audit, and purchasing personnel who need to classify NIS-2 and integrate it into existing structures. Project managers, consultants, and anyone involved in the preparation or implementation of NIS-2 measures will also benefit from this training. The NIS-2 Foundation is also ideal for beginners to the topic of NIS-2 who are looking for a structured, understandable introduction, as well as for decision-makers who need a solid foundation for strategic and organizational decisions in the context of cyber resilience and regulatory compliance.

The aim of the NIS-2 Foundation course is to give you a clear, robust understanding of the requirements and objectives of the NIS-2 Directive. The training enables you to understand NIS-2 not only as a regulatory requirement, but also to classify its significance for the strategic orientation, organization, and operational practice of your institution. The purpose of the training is to give you a common technical basis on which to make informed decisions. You will learn what obligations arise from NIS-2, how responsibilities can be clearly assigned, and what role risk, security, and governance structures will play in the future. The focus is not on technical details, but on understanding contexts, mechanisms, and priorities. The NIS-2 Foundation thus provides guidance and certainty in dealing with the directive. It helps you to realistically assess the need for action, prepare the first steps for implementation, and lay the foundation for further measures, roles, or qualifications in the context of cyber resilience and information security.

You do not need any prior knowledge to participate in the NIS-2 Directive Foundation course.
