Become acquainted with the fundamental concepts and requirements of the NIS2 Directive — covering the legislation’s scope, obligations, and the core practices needed to support a cybersecurity program. A practical starting point as NIS2 compliance becomes mandatory across a wider range of critical sectors.
The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 strengthens cybersecurity requirements across critical infrastructure and essential service providers in the European Union. It broadens the scope of covered sectors, tightens security obligations, and imposes stricter incident-reporting requirements and penalties than its predecessor — non-compliance carries real regulatory and financial consequences, not just a compliance checkbox.
Organizations facing this shift need people who can actually lead the response, not just interpret the text. This course builds that competency directly: you gain a working understanding of the directive’s requirements, practical implementation strategies, and the skills to assess risk, manage incidents, and communicate cybersecurity decisions to stakeholders at every level of an organization — the same competencies regulators and employers expect from someone responsible for NIS2 compliance.
This is a single-tier certificate, not a multi-level credential ladder. After passing the exam, you receive the “PECB Certificate Holder in NIS2 Directive Foundation” credential — no prior professional experience required.
