NIS2 at board level

The Cybersecurity Act requires demonstrable choices

The Dutch Cybersecurity Act entered into force on 15 August 2026. Organisations within scope must analyse cyber risks, take appropriate and proportionate measures, report significant incidents and maintain executive oversight. Directors approve the measures and supervise implementation. This requires sufficient knowledge, clear risk appetite and useful management information.

Different roles, one informed conversation

For executive boards, directors and supervision

Executive directors weigh risk, measures, budget and ownership. Supervisory boards need information that enables effective questions, oversight and timely intervention. Advisory boards and audit committees bring their own perspective. The training makes those roles explicit and supports a shared language.

Executive board and directors

Set risk appetite, priorities, accountability and formal decisions.

Supervisory board

Assess KPIs, KRIs, residual risk, assurance and progress through focused questions.

Advisory board and audit committee

Act as a well-informed sounding board on digital risk, reporting and escalation.

Questions and answers

Clear answers about NIS2 training

Which NIS2 training is right for our board?

Choose the Briefing for a shared foundation, the Masterclass for governance and risk assessment, the in-company Boardroom Day for application to your own organisation, or Advanced Training for a deeper multi-day route.

Who is required to complete NIS2 training?

The specific statutory training duty under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act applies to executive directors of essential and important entities. Appropriate knowledge also supports supervisory boards, advisory boards and audit committees in their own roles.

Is a NIS2 webinar the same as NIS2 training?

The live webinar is a concise orientation. Training provides more time for risk management, board-level assessment, cases, questions and application.

Which training connects NIS2 with risk management?

The Boardroom Masterclass explains how to assess cyber risk and measures. The in-company Boardroom Day adds a board-level risk analysis of the organisation, priorities and a follow-up agenda.

Is follow-up support available?
