Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

The NIS2 Directive is the EU's updated cybersecurity law, and it applies to a far wider range of organisations than its predecessor. If your organisation operates in one of eighteen covered sectors, cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem. It is a management responsibility with real legal consequences.

This course gives corporate managers a plain-language guide to NIS2. You will learn who the directive applies to, what the ten mandatory security measures are, how incident reporting works, and what your personal obligations as a senior leader look like. We cover supply chain security, the overlap with GDPR, sector-specific considerations, and how to build a compliance programme that works in practice.

By the end of the course you will be able to assess whether your organisation is in scope, identify your compliance gaps, and take the right steps to meet your obligations before a regulator does it for you.

No technical background is required. This course is designed for managers, not security professionals. Twenty concise video lectures, one quiz per lecture, and a full further reading section for each chapter make this a complete learning resource you can return to as the regulatory landscape evolves. Enrol today and take control of your NIS2 obligations.
