Professional Certification in NIS2 Directive
The NIS2 Directive, adopted by the EU, strengthens Europe’s cybersecurity by expanding the original NIS Directive with stricter requirements, broader sector coverage, and tougher supervisory and enforcement measures. Compliance is now critical for organizations in essential and important sectors such as energy, transport, banking, healthcare, digital infrastructure, public administration, and manufacturing—where non-compliance can lead to heavy fines, reputational damage, and operational risks.
The Professional Certificate in NIS2 Directive equips participants with the knowledge and skills to implement, manage, and audit compliance effectively. Combining policy, governance, and technical aspects with practical case studies, it prepares professionals to guide organizations toward NIS2 compliance.
Ideal for compliance officers, cybersecurity and risk management specialists, managers, and consultants, this programme offers valuable expertise in EU cybersecurity regulations.
