NIS2 Art. 20(2) explicitly requires management body members to 'follow training' to gain sufficient knowledge and skills to identify risks and assess cybersecurity risk management practices. This is a legal obligation — not a recommendation — with personal liability consequences.
Under NIS2, management body members who fail to ensure adequate cybersecurity measures can be held personally responsible. Penalties may include temporary prohibition from exercising management functions, personal fines, and civil liability for damages resulting from cybersecurity failures.
We offer a concise 2-hour executive briefing format, half-day workshops, and full-day programs with tabletop exercises. All formats are designed for busy executives with no technical prerequisites. We can deliver on-site, at a venue, or virtually.
Our core executive briefing is 2 hours — covering all key NIS2/DORA obligations, risk governance, and incident decision-making. Extended formats (half-day or full-day) add tabletop exercises, case studies, and governance framework development.
We recommend annual refresher sessions aligned with the evolving threat landscape and regulatory developments. Additional briefings should follow major incidents (industry or internal), regulatory changes, or significant organizational changes like M&A activity.
NIS2 personal liability means cybersecurity is now a board-level responsibility. Our executive training is designed for busy leaders who need strategic insight, not technical details. 2-hour format available.
