NIS2 Manager Training
Equip your management team with the knowledge required to fulfill its cybersecurity responsibilities.
NIS2 Begins at Board Level
Under NIS2, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It is a board-level responsibility. Article 20(1) requires management bodies to oversee cybersecurity risk-management measures, while Article 20(2) requires them to complete training so they can understand their obligations and assess cyber risk appropriately.
For organisations within the scope of NIS2, management training is not optional. It forms part of responsible governance in practice. Our NIS2 manager training is designed to help executives and senior decision-makers meet that expectation and establish a sound basis for ongoing compliance.
Programme Overview
Our NIS2 manager training combines self-paced online learning with a live session led by experienced specialists. The programme is structured to take participants from regulatory understanding to confident decision-making, with a clear emphasis on the role of leadership in NIS2 compliance.
It goes beyond a summary of the legal framework. Participants work through the practical issues that arise at management level: the extent of executive involvement required, the implementation and oversight of risk-management measures, and the order in which reporting and decision-making should proceed when an incident occurs. The objective is to frame NIS2 as a matter for leadership, rather than something left to the IT function alone.
The training is intended for board members, managing directors and other senior leaders with formal responsibility for the organisation. It is equally relevant for management teams involved in cyber governance, budget approval and strategic decision-making.
Participants begin with a series of video-based modules in the online academy. The format is flexible and can be completed around existing commitments. Short quizzes at the end of each module help reinforce the principal points and confirm understanding.
Duration: approx. 2 hours
The programme concludes with a follow-up session led by experienced information security specialists. Delivered either online or in person, this session uses realistic scenarios and practical guidance to help participants apply what they have learned in an executive decision-making context.
Duration: approx. 2 hours
